This collection of essays explores the representations, incarnations and manifestations of evil when it is embodied in a particular villain or in an evil presence. All the essays contribute to showing how omnipresent yet vastly under-studied the phenomena of the villain and evil are. Together they confirm the importance of the continued study of villains and villainy in order to understand the premises behind the representation of evil, its internal localized logic, its historical contingency, and its specific conditions.

"This book examines the bad man as a central, recurring, misunderstood, and understudied figure in African American literature, music, and other forms. It analyzes how various iterations of bad black men and black boys serve as creative muse and inspiration for literary production. It puts a variety of contemporary African American literary and cultural works in conversation with "creativity theory.""--
