James BadmanJames Badman writes fiction that unsettles as much as it entertains.

If you appreciate the quiet unease of Kazuo Ishiguro, the sly speculation of Ling Ma, or the existential jolt of Cormac McCarthy, you may find his stories resonant.Outside of writing, James works in medical communications and is a committed marathon runner.
