Scream Queen Desiree Starr is tired of starring in one low budget horror movie after another, each passing film, her wardrobe becomes skimpier and skimpier. Private Martin Riley, a simple solider from Iowa is recruited for "Operation Reptilian", a dangerous experiment where he is supposed to become a "Solider of the Future"--but he becomes something else entirely different. Dr. Morrie Madden, a military "mad scientist" who has played God one too many times. Aging British actor Blake Smith, once a leading man in horror films, but that was before his face started to deteriorate and now has to wear masks in public. All their lives become intersected and a hell breaks loose in the Devil Bayou swamplands. "With Night of the Scream Queen, Linnea Quigley and Michael McCarty have penned my favorite guilty pleasure novel of the year. This is over-the-top good fun, the way they used to make it down at the drive in. I loved it, and I bet you will too. Highly recommended!" --Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Flesh Eaters and Dead City
