About this book
The Spiritual Capture is the first-edition novel in the Physi-Tual series by Austin M. Collings, the author who created and trademarked the Physi-Tual genre in 2021. The book follows characters drawn into encounters where the physical world stops behaving the way it should — where presence, memory, and the unseen begin to overlap.
Built on years of research into metaphysical traditions, supernatural accounts, and first-hand experience, the novel reads as fiction but maps real territory: the moments people describe when something other than the visible world is present in the room. Collings writes from the position that the physical and the spiritual are not separate realms but two views of the same world, and the story turns on what happens when the boundary between them gives way.
Readers of metaphysical fiction, supernatural literature, and consciousness-expanding novels will find a book that takes the subject seriously without slipping into either dry doctrine or paranormal cliché. The Spiritual Capture is the foundation novel of the Physi-Tual genre — every later work in the series proceeds from the questions it raises.
