I can’t find any other book that touches these. Not sure if the picture loaded but the books are “American Psycho” (gotta love that urinal cake dipped in Godiva chocolate Patrick gifted to Evelyn on a date).
Other book is “Dead Inside”.

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Kill Your Friends by John Niven is sometimes compared unfavourably in reviews to American Psycho (probably due to the ruthless, callous, murderous businessman main character Stelfox, a record label A&R man) but i prefer it, mainly because it's very funny. it also has a spinoff, The Second Coming, in which Jesus enters and wins a pop idol type competition run by Stelfox and uses the winnings to set up a Waco style commune, and a sequel, Kill 'Em All, where Stelfox, after becoming an established Simon Cowell type mogul, gets up to further grotty business.
But if you want severely wtf material, The Bighead by Edward Lee will satisfy
Thank you! And The Second Coming sounds hilarious off the bat
it is, if you try them i hope you enjoy
