"Dinn's powers are immense, and when he enumerates them in the ear of Thomas, his 'apprentice demon,' the most blase of readers cannot repress a shiver. . . . Jason Hrivnak, who, with The Plight House, made a masterful entry into the literature of malaise, now gives us this new Song added to hell, this poetical call to damnation."
-Alain Nicolas, L'Humanite
"The almost clinical language in which these hallucinatory states are described . . . at the same time holds a subterranean current . . . the idea that there is, despite all, a space of purity, or in any case incorruptibility, of the human soul. It's this delicate seed that the demon aims to suppress, to annihilate, to reduce utterly to ashes. And that, yet, is omnipresent."
-Nikola Delescluse, Paludes, Radio Campus Lille
"A new trap, this is what Jason Hrivnak proposes in Mutilation Song. . . . A fabulous nightmare of hypnotic logorrhea, strewn with visions worthy of a Clive Barker on acid."
-Nicolas Winter, Just a Word
"Dazzling and suffocating, this violent plunge into the demonism of schizophrenia opens an entire world-in-a-book, a labyrinth of shifting voices, of truths to be deciphered. . . . A truly great novel."
-La viduite
"Profoundly disturbing and resolutely magnificent."
-Hugues Robert, Librairie Charybde
