dc.description	Why can't we look away? Whether we admit it or not, we're fascinated by evil. Dark fantasies, morbid curiosities, Schadenfreude: As conventional wisdom has it, these are the symptoms of our wicked side, and we succumb to them at our own peril. But we're still compelled to look whenever we pass a grisly accident on the highway, and there's no slaking our thirst for gory entertainments like horror movies and police procedurals. What makes these spectacles so irresistible? Professor Eric G. Wilson, a specialist in Gothic literature and a lifelong student of the macabre, attempts to answer this question. Copies of Professor Wilson's book, Everyone Loves a Good Train Wreck, will be available for purchase and signing, and it is Wake Forest Alumni Book Club's September selection.	en_US
