The Tenth Ward


Book Description

In the shadows of the night, evil lurks, and one man stands between us and the malevolent forces that seek to unleash chaos. Meet Randolph Casey—by day, an esteemed university professor, but by night, an intrepid demonologist, ghost hunter, and paranormal investigator. When darkness descends, he becomes our last line of defense against the terrors that lie beyond the veil. As if facing his personal demons wasn't enough, Rand's life takes a perilous turn when he accepts what seems like a routine ghost-hunting case. Amidst the turbulence of his ex's impending remarriage and a skeptical university auditor threatening his job, a desperate couple seeks his help. Their terminally-ill daughter, Georgia, claims that a ghost haunts her hospital room, plaguing her nights with terror. Rand agrees to assist them, assuming it will be a straightforward task to guide the spirit to its eternal rest. But he could never have imagined the malevolence that awaits him. What seemed like a mere ghost is actually an ancient, malicious demonic entity, thirsting for suffering and destruction. With each night, the demon’s wrath intensifies, extending beyond Georgia's hospital room to terrorize the hospital’s other defenseless patients. To battle the vicious entity, Rand must confront his own fears and weaknesses. He races against time to unravel the dark secrets that bind the demon to our realm, seeking the key to banish it back to the depths of hell. Failure means surrendering countless innocent souls—and Georgia’s—to its insatiable hunger. In this pulse-pounding supernatural horror novel, follow Rand on a harrowing journey through the realms of darkness and despair. Will he conquer the demonic force that seeks to engulf us all, or will he—and the world—succumb to the shadows that beckon from beyond? Prepare yourself to be enthralled by the first installment of a chilling supernatural horror series that will keep you turning pages long into the night. Are you ready to confront the unknown?

Chicano Politics and Society in the Late Twentieth Century


Book Description

The various protest movements that together constituted the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 1970s urged a "politics of inclusion" to bring Mexican Americans into the mainstream of United States political and social life. This volume of ten specially commissioned essays assesses the post-movement years, asking "what went wrong? what went right? and where are we now?" Collectively, the essays offer a wide-ranging portrayal of the complex situation of Mexican Americans as the twenty-first century begins. The essays are grouped into community, institutional, and general studies, with an introduction by editor Montejano. Geographically, they point to the importance of "Hispanic" politics in the Southwest, as well as in Chicago wards and in the U.S. Congress, with ramifications in Mexico and Central America. Thematically, they discuss "non-traditional" politics stemming from gender identity, environmental issues, theatre production, labor organizing, university policymaking, along with the more traditional politics revolving around state and city government, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and various advocacy organizations.
