What is evil? How do we understand it in our culture? The thirteen
essays in this critical volume explore the different ways in which
evil is portrayed in popular culture, particularly through film and
novels. Iconic figures of evil are explored, as is the repeated use
of classic themes within our intellectual tradition. Topics covered
include serial killers in film, the Twilight series, the Harry
Potter series, Star Wars, and more. Collectively, these essays
suggest how vital the notion of evil is to our culture, which in
turn suggest a need to reflect on what it means to value what is
good.
