This is a book you definitely want to check out to see exactly what poetry can be. Im already looking forward to future works by him. I am an instant fan.Liian Varus - Poet & author of Oh To Be Human & Is StrangedIn NP Hunts poetry - which I think is best read aloud the words rolling on your tongue your pause and breath responding to his meaning - I found a deep joy in his examination of what it is to be an artist a creator & a human being. Hes taken the candle of his imagination into some dark places & from them has pulled poetry which I found echoes my own experiences. There are many truths here.Nicholas Vince - Actor (Chatterer from Hellraiser) Writer of What Monsters Do & Other Peoples DarknessI found myself moved by N.P. Hunts Immortalised in Ink. The collected volume of dark poetry focuses on how people deal with loneliness & depression & while its hardly an uplifting read it still packs one heck of a punch... a daring volume which delves into the darkest corners of the human mind. It addresses the topic of depression in such a bold and unflinching way that it demands your immediate attention.Verdict: Immortalised in Ink still offers an unflinching look at the horrors of depression. Depression is widely seen as a taboo topic in modern society and we have to commend Hunt for making people aware of the effects it can have on peoples lives through the medium of poetry.David Gelmini - Dread Central
