Speaking of Patrick Bateman....

I'm surprised I didn't know about this [being such a Easton Ellis freak]:

'Bateman also appeared in the American Psycho 2000 e-mails, which were written as an attempt to hype up the movie.

Although they are often mistakenly credited to Ellis, they were actually written by one or more unnamed author(s) and approved by Ellis before being sent out. American Psycho 2000 served as a sort of "e-quel" to the original novel.

The e-mails take place in 2000, a little over a decade since the novel. Bateman is in therapy with a Dr. M. He is also married to Jean, his former secretary. They have a son, Patrick Bateman Jr. (P.B.), who is 5 years old.

In the story, Bateman talks about therapy, trying to get a divorce from Jean, his renewed feelings about murder, and idolizing his son.'

The emails are here.
