Presenting the classic EC material in reader-friendly, artist-and-genre-centric packages for the first time, 'Taint the Meat collects every one of Davis's 24 Crypt stories in one convenient, gore-drenched package. It's the Humanity," an evil-butcher horror story that ends pretty much like you'd expect any evil-butcher horror story to end. Tales From the Crypt was the quintessential American horror comic book, and Jack Davis the quintessential Tales From the Crypt artist: A brilliant virtuoso whose long-limbed, cartoony-but-hyperdetailed slapstick both cut against and amplified the weird and nauseating grotesqueries that spilled from the EC Comics writers' fevered minds, including - as seen in this volume - "'Taint the Meat.

This entry in the EC series focuses on Jack Davis's work, with an emphasis on the horror genre.
