1: The Black Thorn: My Dark Hunger

No Return: An Audio Drama by Kier Zhou No Return is what happens when you give one person too much coffee, a microphone, and a world that won’t stop expanding. It’s a fantasy series about gods, worlds, mercenaries, lost cities, and bad decisions… but mostly it’s about people trying (and&nbsp; failing) to make sense of the mess they’re in. The tone swings from absurd to sincere, from divine slapstick to quiet tragedy. Sometimes all in the same episode. If Discworld got tangled up with The Wheel of Time and accidentally wandered into a Tom Sharpe novel, you’d be somewhere close. The stories jump around the same world, exploring different but intertwined characters, stories and genres. It’s made on a potato powered laptop, by a guy who clearly doesn’t know when to stop. If you like things that are funny, sad, overcomplicated, and occasionally, accidentally, profound…&nbsp; you’ll probably like No Return. But don’t take my word for it… This show was nominated for Best Audio Drama at the New Zealand Web Fest and officially selected for the Cisco Web Fest, which is pretty good for someone who ran out of money to apply to any more festivals! Here’s what listeners are saying: “A journey through a creative mind like no other… I cannot begin to imagine how this creator keeps all his characters and plot lines straight, but it’s a marvel.”&nbsp; “The quality and sound production are absolutely on point, but it’s the captivating writing and voice acting that keep you coming back.”&nbsp; “Chaotic [affectionate]. Each arc has something unique - sometimes gut-wrenchingly funny, sometimes grounded — it keeps you on your toes.” &nbsp; Extra lore, behind-the-scenes chaos, and stray thoughts at:👉 <a href="https://patreon.com/NoReturnAD">patreon.com/NoReturnAD</a>
