Night Crawlers by Robert McCammon

4.0

Calling this a book feels a bit like cheating, but many of the books on my list are as short as this short story. Also, I think this is in McCammon's Blue World collection, which I read when I was maybe 18, so I didn't remember it. This story read quickly and is filled with insight into the home-life of many soldiers dealing with PTSD. This helped me to understand why those with PTSD can seem so irrational at times. If I was afraid to go to sleep or had waking nightmares, I'd be pretty irrational too. If this story was the actual reality for those dealing with PTSD, I think we'd take significantly better care of our soldiers and those living in trauma.
