<div>Dear Martin,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> In English, I've found Gerald Figal's Civilization and Monsters to be a great resource. Kaidan is also discussed in some sections of Stefan Tanaka's New Times in Modern Japan and Michele Li's Ambiguous Bodies: Reading the Grotesque in Japanese Setsuwa Tales. </div>

There's sure lot of poster-books about jidai-geki, yakuza-eiga or kaiju-eiga,<br>but i never came across something related to kaidan (maybe because it's mainly<br>limited to Daiei/ShinToho productions?).<br><br>Thanks!<br>
