- The writing of Dangerous Bodies, which covers the period 1760s to 1970s, and includes original and innovative interpretations of novels, short stories, and films, took 6 years. My underpinning research involved scouring medical journals at the Wellcome Library, University of London; using the Bristol Central Reference Library to research slavery around the time that Mary Shelley visited Bristol in 1815; and further background research at the British Library. I also researched pan-European anti-Semitic portrayals of Jews as vampires, working with German, Dutch, and American archives, e.g., The German Propaganda Archive, Calvin College, Michigan
