I never read those two so I don't know exactly what their content was like. Really, how gruesome a story is depends more on how it's written than the content itself, though. It's when a story focuses too much on gore and details relating to gore that it becomes gratuitous, and to be honest, it doesn't make for a good story any more than jump scares make a good horror game. Too much focus on violence and blood is something we've always discouraged on both wikis.

I don't think we need a specific line, since there isn't really one that can be drawn for what is and isn't tasteful. Again, the guideline against gratuitous violence has always been in place. It's just up to us as admins to use our judgement on whether or not violence is used in a way that works for the story, or if it's just there for its own sake.
