1991 Bret Easton Ellis 'American Psycho' Paperback

Nice 1991 copy of Bret Easton Ellis' disturbing transgressive black comedy/horror novel American Psycho (first published the same year) with beautiful cover art by Marshall Arisman

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

Good condition with some creasing to the cover and spine, fraying to edges and minor discolouration to pages
