American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is one of the most controversial and talked-about novels of all time. A bestseller that has sold millions of copies and has been described as a modern classic, it is a violent and provocative black comedy about the darkest side of human nature.

With an introduction by Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting. Patrick Bateman has it all: good looks, youth, charm, a job on Wall Street, and reservations at every new restaurant in town. He is also a psychopath. A man addicted to his superficial, perfect life, he draws us into a dark underworld where the American Dream turns into a nightmare.
