Thesis about kaidan?

[Lindsay Nelson]

Dear Martin,

      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.
