The Hero Who Stands Before the Flames – A Final Reflection

Posted on December 15, 2019December 16, 2019 by CS Humble

At the center of a child’s heart there is a pillar upon which they place an indelible marble carving. That pillar is the champion’s perch. Its height stretches beyond cynicism. Time cannot reach its summit. The Champion’s Pillar is unassailable, unbreachable, because a child built it with a child’s imagination from childish hopes and dreams. For the child, the pillar will stand forever, sincere.

Waiting on Luke Skywalker

Posted on November 17, 2017August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

My grandmother introduced me to Luke Skywalker when I was nine years old. We lived in Snyder, Texas, a sun-blistered West Texas town that served as my very own Tatooine. I’ve told the story a hundred times, and I’ll happily tell it a hundred more even to the people who’ve heard it before—The story of…

On Adam, Eve, and Anaphora

Posted on July 13, 2015August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

The first telling of the story of Adam and Eve is one of the more expertly crafted stories in the history of literature. It follows a circular pattern of narrative, for the first chapter alone is a collection of statements presented as irrefutable fact.  All of these statements begin with a repetitive structure, a technique…

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. Adam, wiping the condensation of worry from his brow, calls to his son, “Cain! Cain, come quickly.” Peeking out from behind the folds of a dusty, wool covered flap, we…

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…

Nativity

Posted on December 24, 2014August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

See the Child. He is born unto us, the breaker of all chains. For within this tiny vessel resides usurping power of the wholly divine. His first earthly cries stretch out in echoes that usher away darkness, pain, and invite all living creation to partake in a new genesis. A fresh baptism for all the…

A Captain Indomitable: On the Importance of Heroes

Posted on August 19, 2014August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

This past Sunday I taught a bible study lesson for a wonderful group of people via South Main Baptist Church. The title of the lesson was, Comic Books: An American Mythology. It started out exactly like you’d expect – “Hi, My name is Seth, I write comic books and here is how they have affected…

The Incorruptible Son

Posted on July 29, 2014August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

In the first act of Star Wars: A New Hope, Luke Skywalker takes nineteen steps toward the desolate horizon emblazoned by a binary sunset. The audience, ushered forward by John Williams’ score, sees a longing in Luke that the more elderly viewer knows is afforded to only the very young. As time passes in our…

I Am My Right Hand

Posted on May 12, 2014August 9, 2018 by CS Humble

by C.S. Humble- You don’t know this about me, but I was born left-handed. Then, for some antiquated reason, my teachers in elementary school told me that I didn’t want to be left-handed, that I should be right-handed. Since I was seven years old, I’m fairly sure that I didn’t give the left/right hand debate…

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
