That Infernal Mixtape

Your favourite second third fourth eighth demon acquaintance and a real scout of a lad teamed up to make you an incredibly cool mixtape. You wonder who still does that, but decide to listen to the tunes included. That's right! If you ever wanted the complete auditory version of Quake done Quick but it's a mixtape of That Infernal Machine, it's here! ... What?! Nobody wanted that? Well, bahaha, take a peek anyway. You might find some tunes you like; and it's probably better then wading through 400 pages of text, right..?

Congratulations! You've done it! You've read the entire novel! Well, at least the cliff's notes version of it. Really truly. This was also a test to see if loads of paragraphs made tumblr antsy, but... Apparently not? Hrmn. Is it really just wordcount, then? Mysterious. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed - I sure did, even if I probably should've used the time to write.
