The selection of opinions you've already received illustrate the only possible answer - It depends. There are many genres of fiction (and even of historical reportage) ranging from full-on to complete censorship of anything disturbing. Just as Mills & Boon have several categories of romantic fiction, from 'Heartwarming' - 'celebrating traditional values and love' - to 'Desire' and 'Erotica' - which can border on the gynaecological!

If you have a talent for graphic violence, there's a market. If it embarasses you, there's another. Write of what you know (unless you have a hankering for snuff fiction).
