Beyond All Reasonable Doubt, Jesus Is Alive!

"The stories in Beyond All Reasonable Doubt, Jesus is Alive! are like ghost stories that ghosts would tell about the living to scare eachother. Melissa Lozada-Oliva must secretly have two hearts or something! A single plane of reality is never big enough for her; in this emotionally iridescent collection, she pulls off charm and gloom with equal aplomb."
—Tony Tulathimutte, author of Rejection

“Beyond All Reasonable Doubt, Jesus Is Alive! is beautiful, moving, weird, and complex in all the best ways. With precision and the command of language of an accomplished poet, Lozada-Oliva puts into words feelings and truths I didn’t know how to name, but immediately recognized. A wild ride of a single imagination.” —Ananda Lima, author of Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil

“Eerie, hilarious, tender and surreal, Melissa Lozada-Oliva makes her mark as a shimmering patron saint of the weird girl lit world.” 
—GennaRose Nethercott, author of Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart and Thistlefoot

“Hilarious and deliriously odd, Beyond All Reasonable Doubt, Jesus is Alive! dives giddily into the joys and troubles of being a flawed person. I was mesmerized by each of Lozada-Oliva’s delicious jumps of imagination, landing in a place more marvelous and heart-achingly human than I would ever expect.” —Gerardo Sámano Córdova, author of Monstrilio 

 “In Melissa Lozada-Oliva’s hands, girlhood is the eerie, seething, unsurvivable thing that women all know it to be. Lozada-Oliva’s protagonists cry, scheme, joke, lie, mourn, humiliate themselves, and scream for attention in settings both familiar and fantastical. It’s a mark of the author’s brilliance that as they do all this, they also charm us, every step of the way.” —Rax King, author of Tacky
