The Voice of Midnight is an album by The Residents, released in 2007. It was adapted from a short story, Der Sandmann, by Prussian writer E. T. A. Hoffmann
The protagonist of the story is Nathaniel (Nate) who carries a deeply-seated fear that the childhood fable character, The Sandman, is stalking him. Nate's fiance, Clair is a steadfast realist.
The first 500 copies of the CD came with a five track bonus CD-EP The Sandman Waits. The original plan was for it to be the first 300, but so many people pre-ordered the recording that they boosted the print run.
