synopsis
Patrick Bateman is young, white, beautiful, ivy leagued, and indistinguishable from his Wall Street colleagues. Shielded by conformity, privilege, and wealth, Bateman is also the ultimate serial killer, roaming freely and fearlessly. His murderous impulses are fueled by zealous materialism and piercing envy when he discovers someone else has acquired more than he has. After a colleague presents a business card superior in ink and paper to his, Bateman's blood thirst sharpens, and he steps up his homicidal activities to a frenzied pitch. Hatchets fly, butcher knives chop, chainsaws rip, and surgical instruments mutilate-how far will Bateman go? How much can he get away with?

Back in 1991, the honchos at Simon & Schuster looked at a manuscript by Bret Easton Ellis, 27, about Patrick Bateman -- a Wall Street stud into designer labels and the aprÅs-sex mutilation of the hard-bodies he escorted to chic restaurants -- and decided to breach their contract to publish. Ellis kept his $300,000 advance, made a new deal with Vintage Books and watched the world slime him as if he had committed the murders. "Snuff this…
