Beyond All Reasonable Doubt, Jesus Is Alive! cover

From the hyper-online author of Dreaming of You comes a spiky and surprising short story collection about women and their demons: jealous men, predatory teachers, monsters, fame, inherited trauma, and their own personal BS.
These stories explore the pain and uncertainty of girlhood and young adulthood. Stylish, subversive, and suspenseful, Lozada-Oliva uses elements of body horror and fabulism to great effect, investigating themes of class, race, gender and sexuality, and late stage capitalism.

"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 Samano Cordova, author of Monstrilio

"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

"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
