	Preternatural Pretexts
		So in MND, when the king and queen of the fairies have a falling-out, the organic world is thrown into chaos; in JC, the plotting of the death of an emperor brings about a veritable cornucopia of natural horrors to herald in the dark deed.
		Another dramatic element shared by MND and JC is the presence of preternatural power couples, the former featuring Oberon and Titania, the latter Caesar and Calpurnia.
		Political treachery is a central theme in both plays, but where the preternatural acts mainly to augur the treachery in JC, it plays a more comprehensive role in resolving the various situations brought about by treachery in Tempest.

		Paranormal, preternatural, and supernormal are synonyms; these terms refer to phenomena that are beyond or above the normal or beyond or apart from nature and natural law as now understood.
		Paranormal, preternatural, and supernormal phenomena either exist due to our incomplete or incorrect understanding of nature by science, or do not exist because of a false understanding of nature, incorrect application of science and critical thinking, or self-deception.
		Preternatural is somewhat confusing since it implies the existence of a realm or world beyond the natural that cannot be studied by science (since science studies only the natural using only naturalistic methods--this is termed methodological naturalism).

		The Haunted Isles Preternatural Investigative Team (HIPIT), an organization located in the United Kingdom, is not unlike most paranormal organizations that investigate ghosts, poltergeists, and strange hauntings.

	Telepathic Jellyfish Strike Back in New 'Preternatural' Book
		Preternatural Too: Gyre (Tor Books, $23.95) is the story of a midlist science fiction writer -- Karen Rohmer Guerreri -- trying to write a sequel to her alien-contact inspired novel Preternatural.
		As in Preternatural, the story is driven by the "S. oteri", a race of telepathic jellyfish who live on a distant planet and regularly communicate with Karen.
		While the first novel described the aliens' collective journey to understanding that they are a group of individuals rather than one mind, this novel shows their new struggle to comprehend the human perception of time.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Preternatural Too: Gyre
		Preternatural Too: Gyre's unhinging of time reminds me of Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, and Karen's working-out of her predicament is as intricate and recursive as the best of Philip K. Dick.
		Readers of Preternatural won't be surprised to learn that it's Fuschia, that naughty S. oteri, one of the telepathic ET jellyfish who inspired and bedeviled Karen in the first book, up to hir old tricks -- the S. oteri live in the Long Now, and have trouble with the idea of sequential time.
		You don't need to have read the first book to enjoy the second, but if you liked the first, you're probably already headed for the bookstore and I'm preaching to the choir...

	The SF Site Featured Review: Preternatural
		Karen Rohmer Guerreri is writing an SF novel -- working title, "Preternatural" -- by taking dictation from telepathic ET jellyfish in her head.
		The jellyfish are a bit much at times (whine of the dreamers, heh heh), and the ending may be over-sweet (though perfectly-fitted to the cinematic subplot).
		Margaret Wander Bonanno is the most prolific SF author I'd never heard of -- in the past 20 years, she's written seven Star Trek novels, seven other novels (some SF/F), and a biography of Angela Lansbury.

	Some Remarks on the Use of the Preternatural in Works of Fiction by John Wilson \| The Literary Gothic
		Punctuation, case, and spelling are reproduced as in the original, with the exception of an added blank line between paragraphs.
		Some have thought that, in modern works of fiction, there should be no gratuitous introduction of the preternatural, and that superstitious tales are only to be tolerated when they

	Margaret Wander Bonanno, writer - PRETERNATURAL
		Karen Rohmer Guerreri is a struggling science fiction writer with a serious problem: the telepathic alien jellyfish in her current work in progress, a novel called Preternatural, are trying to communicate with her.
		Throw in a self-proclaimed New Age mystic, the stars of a cult science fiction TV series, the pharaoh Akhenaton, a dying artist, a female messiah, and the burning of the Library of Alexandria, and you have more outrageous weirdness than any SF writer - or telepathic jellyfish - can ever hope to cope with.
		From the inner roots of artistic inspiration to the enigmatic depths of outer space, Preternatural boldly goes where no novel has gone before.

		Actually, this is still part of the discussion thread because this so-called "morphic sense" is part of preternatural sensitivity.
		However, in parapsychology, preternatural is the broader term referring to everything that is "beyond nature," while supernatural refers more to the limited sphere of "the spirits."
		ESP may not necessarily be a "spiritual power." It could, as many parasychologists say, be part of our undeveloped mental prowess.

		Preternatural Too: Gyre by Margaret Wander Bonanno - Official sffworld.com review
		An atypical time travel sci-fi, book two in Margaret Wander-Bonanno's preternatural series stands on its own with new characters and a mystery to solve.
		Bonanno does a masterful job of handling multiple subplots twisting them with the storyline into a live wire as her electrifying characters jolt you into places lit up with superb imagery. Her story warns of danger in having power and not the maturity to handle it.

		Of course, she also apologized for thinking we were fictional, which took some of the sting out of it, and we, preternaturally magnanimous beings that we are, have been--ahem-- grateful ever since.
