trying to delete a file named -e

I've been trying in vain to delete a file that I accidentally created. The name of the file is -e

of course, everything I attempt to do with the rm command (rm -i * for example) comes back with:

rm: illegal option -- e
usage: rm [-fiRr] file ...


Any suggestions on what I can do to remove this file?
