OP here, I'd like to add that these characters should be funny, nihilistic with a wicked sense of humour.

Jim Morrison isn't misanthropic at all

Oh boy

Filth by Irvine Welsh. Really funny as well. Its about a psychopathic, misanthropic cop who basically fucks everybody's life up through manipulation, sex, and abuse. If you can get past the dialect, which is quite toned down for a Welsh novel, then you will surely enjoy it.

also really sad.

Seen the movie, if the book is even half as good, it's gonna be great

Why is the hardcover so fucking expensive? Why is maintaining a cracked-spine-free zone such a monumental feat?

Americana by DeLillo almost feels like a prequel to American Psycho

That reminds me...
In the Miso Soup by Ryū Murakami could also be said to be a part of this genre

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

So what's the skinny on American Psycho? I read it and took Bateman's murders and other actions literally but online people seem to think that it was all a figment of his imagination.

Is that true? Just how much was imagined? Also what was 'This is not an exit' all about at the end?

Eye Scream by Henry Rollins.
