Bret Easton Ellis’s “American Psycho” is a chilling journey into the mind of Patrick Bateman, a Wall Street yuppie with a dark secret. By day, he’s obsessed with status and appearances. By night, he indulges in unspeakable violence. Ellis’s razor-sharp prose cuts deep, exposing the hollow core of 1980s excess. It’s a book that still haunts me, forcing us to confront the monsters lurking beneath polished veneers. Not for the faint-hearted, but utterly unforgettable.
