I’m happy to welcome back friend of The Phil Factor, author, tv & radio personality and zombie expert Marie Lanza! Marie is one of the few human beings in the world that I’ve allowed to write a guest post here at The Phil Factor.
I was planning to write a stellar review of Marie’s story in the anthology Under Her Black Wings: 2020 Women of Horror Anthology which features horror stories by all female authors. It’s almost Halloween, so it’s time to get in the mood with a great read. As I said, I was preparing to write a review of Under Her Black Wings and Marie’s story, The Faceless Woman, when I came across a post of hers on Instagram (where you can find her as @marie_lanza). I’ll let Marie take it away in her own words:
My hometown of Lake Charles, Louisiana has been devastated by #HurricaneLaura. The community needs help as they begin the long journey to rebuild their lives. There is no running water or electricity. Many have lost everything and so many are desperate for supplies.
For the month of September, 100% of book proceeds will go directly to individuals and families in need. We’ll be sending it in forms of gift cards, cash, clothing, food–whatever we can.
I accept Venmo and Paypal! Please DM me for details.
Donations of $10-$15 : You’ll receive paperback copy of an anthology – 25 Gates of Hell or Under Her Black Wings. Lots of greats authors in these books!
Donations of $15-$25 : You’ll receive the first 3 books of my Fractured series.
Or, if you just want to give something, please let me know. Alternatively, the Community Foundation of Southwest Louisiana was recommended by friends as a great group to give donations as well. I know there’s so much going on in this world, but this beautiful city needs all the help they can get.
Good books and a good cause. I can’t think of a better way to spend my money. For links and/or to DM Marie, you can find her at:

It’s Labor Day, a classic American holiday. Do something American by helping out other Americans!
Have a great day! ~Phil
I must admit I don’t usually take much notice of book recommendations, but I am very interested in this one! I might just treat myself for Hallowe’en. 😊
Why not contact Marie and donate? You can help others and get yourself a great book. It really is a nice collection of short stories.
