Thesis about kaidan?

Thanks Lindsay, Michelle Li's book seems to be exactly what i'm looking for! :)

------------
Here'a part of the abstract:
[..]This book aims to make sense of grotesque representations in setsuwa -
animated detached body parts, unusual sexual encounters, demons and
shape-shifting or otherwise wondrous animals - and, in a broader sense, to show
what this type of critical focus can reveal about the mentality of Japanese
people in the ancient, classical, and early medieval periods [..]
