I typically say "no horror" when I put my name on the beta list, but this time I had to write horror, so... I wrote something that wasn't overtly violent and focused instead on psychological horror, not graphic. I did decline to beta a story that triggered some of my PTSD, but there's no way the writer would have known about it as it was personal to me, not a common trigger. And that author wasn't writing horror, so it wasn't on them to post any warnings, IMO. It was on me to back away and let it go. |

In my opinion, anyone who reads a horror story should expect some level of violence and gore. Unless your story deals with some really specific scenes (child abuse, animal torture or the like), I'd say no.
