Mitternacht - The Dark Night of the Soul is the 12th album by Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows. The album was released in September 2014 in two different formats: in compact disc format with 36-page hardcover book, and an exclusive T-shirt (limited to 1999 copies); and on 12" vinyl with a 28-page booklet in 12" format and two posters (limited to 890 copies). Both editions are signed and numbered by Anna-Varney Cantodea herself and feature illustrations by Anastasiya Chyringa, a fan whose artwork Anna-Varney encountered on Tumblr.
