"Mincing Machine" by Philip Wooderson is a darkly comedic exploration of a small-town butcher named Arthur who becomes obsessed with creating the perfect meat blend. As he experiments with unusual ingredients and daring techniques, his creations begin to draw the attention of gourmet enthusiasts and sinister figures alike. Unbeknownst to Arthur, his culinary ambitions lead to unintended consequences, intertwining his fate with that of the town's shadowy underbelly. With a mix of humor and horror, the story delves into themes of obsession, identity, and the lengths one will go to achieve greatness, all while questioning the ethics of consumption.
