No Glamorama is not the same as American Psycho when it comes to violence. There’s one scene that comes to mind is all and it’s not described in as much detail as some of the American Psycho scenes.

My favorite book of his is The Rules of Attraction

Seconded. Also, The Rules of Attraction. One of the main characters is Patrick's brother. He's not a serial killer but you can tell they were raised by the same parents.

There is a weird, reciprocal fatal attraction between Ellis and Jay McInerney. For a deep dive, I’d say start w Less Than Zero, then Bright Lights Big City, then Glamorama, then Bright, Precious Days (short stories) and then Lunar Park, where Ellis writes a novel featuring himself with some guest appearances from McInerney. Then go to a bar, order two tequilas and try to make sense of it all.
