Scream Queen is the first book by Ho Che Anderson since his landmark graphic novel, King, a biography of Martin Luther King Jr. A woman driving through the desert picks up a younger woman whose car has broken down. They get chatting and reveal bits and pieces of their lives. After this meeting, the older woman leaves for an appointment with a man. When she arrives at his apartment, he's having sex with a woman. The woman confronts him and it turns out she's the living dead and has come to bring the man to the other side.
