The Sandman is an interesting short-story written by Hoffman. The “other” is Sandman which appears
in the stories told the children for them to go to sleep and behave well. It is horrific because he steals
childrens’ eyes and feed his own children with those eyes. This is connected to childhood trauma of
Nathanael, the main character, so psychological aspects are included in the story. It is mysterious
because we do not know if it is real or not.
