Cain and Abel – The First Brothers

Posted on June 24, 2015August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

Imagine the time of the birth of the first second son. Eve out of the painful throws of childbearing is sleeping quietly in her recovery.

On Binary Sunsets

Posted on April 18, 2015August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

I’m not really a “crier”, but I turn into a blubbering baby when I watch the original Star Wars films. There are only a few films that can do this to me: Lonesome Dove, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring are probably the only other two. In a previous post entitled The Incorruptible…

In the first act of Star Wars: A New Hope, Luke Skywalker takes nineteen steps toward the desolate horizon emblazoned by a binary sunset.

A Multitude of Infirmities, Part III: The Weapons of Dereliction

Posted on July 23, 2014August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

Brad Ellison – Zen Baptist, Writing Mentor, and Chosen Brother

Posted on June 23, 2014August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

This is Brad Ellison – Yeah. Drink up all that ferocity for a minute. Don’t worry if you feel like he’s kicking your courage in the teeth, it’s okay, that’s the normal mammalian reaction to such a predatory visage. Take comfort in this, dear friends: The first time I met Brad was at the Karaoke…

The Massacre at Yellow Hill is a rollicking and bloody take on the Old West through a Robert E. Howard-style zoetrope. Humble flexes pulp literary muscle in his gritty action sequences and evocative descriptions of a harsh,  sinister shadow world.
