American Psycho
Bret Easton Ellis
American Psycho is a horror novel by American writer Bret Easton Ellis, published in 1991. The story is told in the first-person by Patrick Bateman, a wealthy, narcissistic, and vain Manhattan investment banker who lives a double life as a serial killer. Alison Kelly of The Observer notes that while "Some countries [deem it] so potentially controversial that it only to be sold as shrink-wrapped", "critics rave about it" and "academics revel in its transgressive and postmodern qualities".

Vivek’s Notes
Its narrator is a particularly chilling murderer because he is identical to the other financially successful young professionals he works with on Wall Street. The novel is a commentary on, among other things, the lack of morality in a generation of young, money-focused professionals.
