HE'S SHOCKED, SHOCKED!
'PSYCHO' SHOCK
BRET Easton Ellis is shocked by how violent his notorious novel "American Psycho" is. Ellis tells W he re-read the tome four years ago for the first time since its publication in 1991: "I was afraid of [reading] it, because I thought it was going to be a dreadfully pretentious, boring slog, because that's how a lot of people look at it," he tells the magazine. "I will say that I was bothered by the violence. I was really grossed out, and I can't imagine writing something like that now. It shocked me."
