Murder's fine but rape's a bit far, don't you think?
In an absolute kind of scale, I don't think so if it's horror/smut stories, or just fiction. It may be pushing it too far for a lot of people, but if it's in the kind of stories I mentioned, those (should) have all kinds of warning about explicit content and people can blissfully ignore them - while those who watch them know what they're getting into.
honestly, im kinda disturbed by it, [...]
That's what supposed to happen, generally. There's also this cathartic feeling of expressing or purging violent feelings or agressivity, somehow. When the protagonist is killing those zombies with a lawnmower in Braindead, it is kind of hilariously violent and most enjoyable if you like that stuff.
[...] and im worried about the author as well.
You shouldn't. Most author/director who do violent fictional stuff aren't necessarily violent themselves and most probably don't condone those acts. The fascination for bizarre stuff might be the result of anguish/depression/whatever, but I'm pretty sure most of the time, it's not.
I feel why you'd feel like that, though. The Japanese have a very, very interesting and weird approach when they depict gore stuff or just when they do horror stuff in general. It's very psychological and very disturbing. I think that's one of the thing they do best, it's disgustingly fascinating.
