Featured Title

ALL THESE SUBTLE DECEITS (Dark Hart Books, October 4, 2022)

“With his thriller-horror novel All These Subtle Deceits, C. S. Humble demonstrates the benefit of combined genres in the hands of a shockingly talented author: Brisk pacing with fully realized characters in a brilliantly conceived setting. This is seamless hybrid fiction at its very best. My recommendation: Follow this author to new ground in the horror universe.”

– S.P. Miskowski, author of I Wish I Was Like You
