All too human story in which evil makes a comeback (8)

I believe the answer is:

fallible

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'all too human' is the definition.
'fallible' can be an answer for 'human' (similar in meaning). I am not sure about the 'all too' bit.

'story in which evil makes a comeback' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'fable' (fable is a kind of story).
'in which' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'evil' becomes 'ill' (I've seen this in another clue).
'makes a comeback' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'making a comeback' mean this).
'ill' written backwards gives 'lli'.
'fable' going around 'lli' is 'FALLIBLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fallible that I've seen before include "Prone to error" , "Weak" , "Bali fell (anag)" , "Northern Scandinavian" , "Capable of making mistakes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
