Is American Psycho extreme horror?

I read it this year on a whim and haven’t stopped thinking about it. I hated the brutal violence and gore but was also slightly like morbidly….. interested in it? Like watching a trainwreck or something as they say. but I genuinely loved the rest of the book.

After that I wanted to read another book like it and read the Wasp Factory which kept coming up and thought it was kinda meh aside from the twist at the end. Then I was recommended Maeve Fly which I’ve started as an audio book but feel kind of in different to it as well.
