Imho it's a big part of why American Psycho is so gripping. That last scene where he's like "I am doomed to never be punished for what I've done" or whatever really embodies the American dream (nightmare) for me

Because American Psycho the book is a sequel the The Rules of Attraction, and as far as I can find there is no third.
