Meet Randolph Casey - university professor by day, demonologist, ghost hunter, and paranormal investigator by night. And he’s about to take on his most dangerous assignment.

Rand has seen better days. His ex is getting remarried, and a persistent non-believing university auditor is threatening his job. The last thing Rand needs is to take on a new ghost-hunting case. But when a desperate couple approaches him about their terminally ill daughter Georgia, who claims a ghost is visiting her hospital room at night, he can’t seem to turn them away.

Rand figures that banishing Georgia’s ghostly intruder will be a routine matter. All he needs to do is guide the lingering ghost to the afterlife. But when the ghost returns with a vengeance, attacking Georgia and terrorizing other hospital wards, Rand realizes this is no benign spirit, but an evil demonic entity.

If he doesn’t unravel its ancient origins and discover how to banish it back to hell, a hospital full of people will fall victim to its destructive agenda.

The Tenth Ward is a supernatural horror thriller for listeners who love stories about hauntings and battles with the demonic - the truest form of evil that exists in our world. You are only one click away from joining Rand Casey in his terrifying battles against mankind’s oldest and most deadly enemy: the servants of the devil.

I have a found a new author.

I am very picky and leery about horror author, because some books I've listened to wasn't scary or scared me. Horror books are one of the my favorite genres that I like. Well, I've definitely found an author that captures everything I look for in horror books. I've now purchased and listed to 3 of Rockwell's books, and must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed all 3. His writing of stories are fantastic. This story is very frightening and believable, especially if you listen to it at night in your dark bedroom, earbuds on. Your mind will start to play tricks on you. His characters are well developed. I love Rand and Libby. On all 3 of the books I've have listed to, the narrators and narration has been outstanding. Connor Goff did an awesome job with his narration and bringing these characters to life. If your like me, and love listening to a GOOD horror book. I highly recommend you check out and listen to Rockwell's books. I look forward in the next book.🙂

I barley got through it.

The story was written for tweens. The person reading it was not very ,good. He wasn’t good at distinguishing who was talking.
Just pass. Your welcome.

very repetitive. poor editing.

I really wanted this book to be better. I love the subject matter and the characters were fun. I could walk away from recording for 10 minutes and be at the same place in the plot.

Good attempt, solid story with some serious flaws

Why is it so difficult for writers these days to craft characters who have some kind of religious faith? In this story, how does a lapsed catholic/agnostic expect to use the name of Jesus to exercise a demon? How can someone use a crucifix and holy water without belief in them? Are we supposed to believe that the cross, the crucifix, the holy water have intrinsic power? Also, the protagonist does a cleansing ritual in a hospital room using candles and incense and the smoke alarms don’t go off? Nobody in Baton Rouge where the story is it has a Louisiana accent? Why does a hospital have a sociologist on staff? Also the writer forgets to use the subjunctive tense once in a while and use his “sprung“ instead of “spring.“ I forget the other instances of grammatical errors A few. If you are just reading for fun and not for content, or you don’t know what correct grammar should be, then if you’d like this genre, you might read this higher. For me, who studied English at university, and I’m a writer myself, for me to give it four or five stars, writing need to be excellent. It’s a fun read, but for the above mentioned “flaws“ I could not read this higher than three stars. Perhaps this was the writers freshman or sophomore attempt and I might try to read future books to see if his craft has improved.
