The Disturbing and Intense Experience of Reading 'American Psycho'
They discuss their experience reading 'American Psycho' in high school and how it was a disturbing and intense book. They also share a story about reading a stack of 'Johnny, the Homicidal Maniac' comics that had one with what they believe was human blood on it. They talk about how the book is more grotesque and upsetting than the movie adaptation, and how it depicts violence against women in a way that is meant to be hard to read.
