Joining moderator Peggy Ehrhart will be panelists Lorenzo Carcaterra, Henry Chang, Julia Pomeroy, Laura Joh Rowland, and Wallace Stroby. Under discussion will be Evil *cue organ music* and everywhere it lurks, from seemingly harmless small towns to the glamourous metropolis, and even more exotic locales both in place and time.
