Depending on your definition of "dark", American Psycho is pretty gruesome at parts. That, or Native Son. Both are a pretty slow burn though. I've heard The Road is dark too, but I haven't read it (yet).

fuck mary harron. she took everything brilliant and progressive from this novel and shot it so shit, made it literally so saturated and Hollywood-friendly that the book and movie are basically incomprehensible different -- basically completely different things

i want so badly for this movie to be remade, I know it would be amazing if adapted well

What are some other books where the narrator protagonist lacks a stable sense of self?

They don't necessarily have to be murderers or at all villainous. In fact, I'd like to read something where they alternate between kindness and misanthropy.

Any good /socio/ core? Been watching a lot of Hannibal lately. Got the juices flowing.

Favourite/most abhorrent passages from your reading of American Psycho.

This had a lot of moments that were genuinely hilarious, like when he talks about all the ways he fucked with his fiancee

thoughts? I'm 20% in and enjoying it so far.

Is it as gutwrenchingly violent as its controversy makes it out to be?

Do I have to really focus on what Patrick is describing? Like the way he describes people's attire and his music equipment, CD player etc..

It seems really fucking excessive, also sometimes in the book he says this person is wearing one thing and in the very next page he's saying they're wearing something different.
