5 STAR Review from Readers' Favorite, Night Sea Journey

Readers’ Favorite gives 5-Star Review To Night Sea Journey

Reviewer, Jack Magnus

"Wow…so marvelous. A monumental achievement. Brava!


“Reading Paula Cappa’s metaphysical mythological fantasy, Night Sea Journey: A Tale of the Supernatural, was a profound, vibrant and intensely moving experience for me. I was, quite literally, caught up in the spell Cappa weaves as her characters navigate their ways through mysteries and dreams manifested in the real world. Raymond, Garcia and the artist Kip Livingston are marvelous characters, especially Livingston whose world is recorded in her paintings; the paints she will use in her works instantly determined as she faces the horrors and turbulent landscapes of her dream-states. Cappa masterfully evokes the wild and natural world where the exiled Raymond finds himself — you can see the waves breaking over the rocky shoreline, smell the salty, humid sea air and hear the cranes and shorebirds as they fly in formation overhead. Night Sea Journey is lovely, atmospheric and, oh, so very, very good. It’s most highly recommended.


Night Sea Journey: A Tale of the Supernatural is a metaphysical literary fantasy by Paula Cappa. Father Raymond Kera is having doubts about his calling; if he ever had indeed been called. His friend and fellow priest, Garcia, lives a different life than Raymond does. He’s sworn off the clerical collar he refers to as a noose, and he’s been secretly married by a compassionate superior to his beloved, with whom he has a child. Garcia is an at-large priest who preaches in the inner city, sponsors needle exchanges and is considered by some to be a prophet. Raymond is less flashy, and his superior has frequently called him to task for his uninspired sermons and generally lackluster performance. Raymond has petitioned the Vatican for laicization, release from his vows, which was not granted him. Instead, he is sent to a remote island off the Rhode Island coast where his dubious skills as a carpenter will be used to complete construction of the St. Gregory of Nyssa Church.”

US Review of Books: Night Sea Journey, A Tale of the Supernatural

US Review of Books has just published their "recommended" review of Night Sea Journey.

Night Sea Journey, A Tale of the Supernatural by Paula Cappa "The road to hell is paved with the skulls of priests."

Father Raymond Kera's request to be released from the priesthood is denied. Raymond spinelessly adheres to the instructions from the Vatican to do carpentry at St. Gregory's Church on a remote area of Horn Island. Raymond encounters the dreamscape artist Kip Livingston when he inquires about one of her apocalyptic-looking paintings entitled "Night Sea Journey." After divulging her relentlessly terrifying nightmares to Raymond, Kip asks him to stay the night, and for the first time she experiences a peaceful sleep. But as Raymond analyzes detailed aspects of Kip's nightmares, a bizarre set of circumstances unfolds, especially when Raymond enters Kip's hellish yet realistic dreams.
Awarding-winning author and short story writer Paula Cappa spins Biblical exegesis within a paranormal framework focused on themes of redemption and end times. Cappa's stunning and absorbing plot is filled with all the elements that catapult her third-person narrative on par with—if not better than—a Dan Brown novel. Cappa zeroes in on a small yet extremely well-developed cast (Raymond and Kip) that is tightly surrounded by a good handful of foiled characters. Chief among Cappa's foiled collection is Father Garcia. Garcia has his own set of challenges. Nonetheless, Garcia and Raymond have a diehard friendship that plays a critical role in both their spiritual journeys. Concurrently, Raymond's relationship with Kip builds. Aside of long-awaited steamy moments, the ever-elusive Kip also has a spiritual effect on Raymond's life. Cappa handles scriptural references on love and forgiveness and its interconnection with Heaven and Hell, as well as angels and demons, with incredible skill. Cappa's persistence to shifting character scenes in the midst of celestial and malevolent beings leaves readers in a constant mind-boggling eschatological and good-versus-evil tizzy. Truly an outstanding read, Night Sea Journey is one book that is hard to put down!
