"Melissa Lozada-Oliva writes with a perfect blend of intoxicating magic and unflinching humor, illuminating the visceral tensions of yearning and darkness that define our most human moments. Beyond All Reasonable Doubt, Jesus is Alive! invites readers to confront the demons that haunt us all with a spellbinding, evocative tenderness. Surprising, witty, and deep, Lozada-Oliva is one of my favorite storytellers working today. A beautiful, sharp-tongued collection that feels like an instant classic with an edge all its own.” —Chelsea Bieker, author of Madwoman and Godshot

"Each story in this collection is a treat you’ll want to savor. 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. This collection is a treasure!" —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
