It will make your skin crawl and your brows furrow in disgust, it will make you feel icky, like you’re reading something you shouldn’t, and if you’re a woman it will bring an all too familiar terror into your home. You shouldn’t get comfy in bed and think you can read American Psycho right before you go to sleep, it just isn’t that kind of book. This isn’t a book that you should read for pleasure, it’s very far from a fun, quick read. I do agree that this book is a masterpiece in that it is written very well, almost too well at times, giving the reader an eerie chill down their spine and the insistent feeling that forces them to peer over their shoulder more than once. American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is a literary classic, a book that people say you should read at least once in your lifetime. This book being the first review on RedrumReads really sets the ~spooky~ tone for the blog, even though I won’t be reading many books quite like this one. “Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?” – Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho
