American Psycho

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this modern classic, the acclaimed author of The Shards explores the incomprehensible depths of madness and captures the insanity of violence in our time or any other.

"A seminal book.” —The Washington Post

One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

Patrick Bateman moves among the young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan. Young, handsome, and well educated, Bateman earns his fortune on Wall Street by day while spending his nights in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Expressing his true self through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront.

“A masterful satire and a ferocious, hilarious, ambitious, inspiring piece of writing.... An important book.” —Katherine Dunn, bestselling author of Geek Love

absolutely the worst horror book I've ever read. If I could go back and keep myself from reading it, I would.

I really love the movie so I wanted to read the book. I think it was really good but I got tired of reading about the clothes every single character was wearing.

DNF What I did read was quite frankly impossible. The long lists of what everyone is wearing and going through his routines in excruciating detail is the real psychotic behaviour here...
