The 'evil child' has infiltrated the cultural imagination, taking
on prominent roles in popular films, television shows and
literature. This collection of essays from a global range of
scholars examines a fascinating array of evil children and the
cultural work that they perform, drawing upon sociohistorical,
cinematic, and psychological approaches. The chapters explore a
wide range of characters including Tom Riddle in the Harry Potter
series, the possessed Regan in William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist,
the monstrous Ben in Doris Lessing's The Fifth Child, the hostile
fetuses of Rosemary's Baby and Alien, and even the tiny terrors
featured in the reality television series Supernanny. Contributors
also analyse various themes and issues within film, literature and
popular culture including ethics, representations of evil and
critiques of society. This book was originally published as two
special issues of Literature Interpretation Theory.
