Satirical horror exploring consumerism and identity.

If you're feeling up for a challenge, "American Psycho" is a truly provocative read. With its darkly satirical take on '80s excess and the vacuity of the yuppie lifestyle, the book draws you into a chilling world through the eyes of an unreliable, yet distinctly memorable narrator. It's an audacious dive into the extremes of human behavior, obscuring the lines between materialism and madness, with Bret Easton Ellis's sharp and unforgiving prose.

Description

In a black satire of the eighties, a decade of naked greed and unparalleled callousness, a successful Wall Street yuppie cannot get enough of anything, including murder. In American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis imaginatively explores the incomprehensible depths of madness and captures the insanity of violence in our time or any other. 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 himself through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront.
