Absolute Midnight is the not-yet-published third book in Clive Barker's Abarat series. According to Barker, it is to be the darkest and longest so far, though whether or not it will be longer or darker than The Eternal (Book 4) or the so far unnamed 5th book is yet to be seen.

In the previous books, Abarat and Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War, there have been hints to suggest what might happen in Absolute Midnight, such as the Requiax, a seabed-inhabiting race unable to live under the sun. Hence: Absolute Midnight. When in total darkness, the creatures will emerge. They have been called the "enemies of love" by the Fantomaya.

Some sources say this book will come out sometime in October 2007, but in a recent interview in January 2007 with "Revelations," Clive Barker said the book could be expected in Autumn 2008.
