ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis delves into the life of Patrick Bateman, a wealthy investment banker in 1980s New York City. He navigates a world of expensive tastes, status symbols, and superficial relationships. Beneath this veneer of success, Bateman harbors dark and violent urges, blurring the lines between reality and his gruesome fantasies. The narrative explores themes of consumerism, identity, and the dehumanizing effects of wealth and societal expectations. The book presents a disturbing look at the potential for darkness lurking beneath a polished exterior.
