1998 Bret Easton Ellis 'American Psycho' UK Hardcover 1st Ed.

Gorgeous 1998 Picador copy of Bret Easton Ellis' disturbing transgressive black comedy/horror novel American Psycho with beautiful cover art by Marshall Arisman. This was the 1st hardcover edition published in the UK, 2nd Impression.

The story is told in the first person, as we follow the day-to-day life of Patrick Bateman - a mid-20s investment banker working on Wall Street in the late 1980's. Bateman idolizes Donald Trump and enjoys fine dining, high fashion, snorting cocaine, critiquing pop music and murdering people. A fascinating, expertly written critique of capitalism, American Psycho is an intensely dark journey and certainly not for everyone. If you enjoyed the '2000 film and haven't experienced the book, we definitely recommend. Unforgettable and very re-readable
