A Strange Thing to Say (also released as A Strange Thing 2 Say) is the third EP by Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows and is the first part of the trilogy A Triptychon of GHOSTS (or: El Sexorcismo de Anna-Varney Cantodea), which includes album Have You Seen This Ghost? and EP Children of the Corn. This is the first Sopor release since 2003's Es reiten die Toten so Schnell to not be produced by John A. Rivers. Instead, Patrick Damiani of the band Rome has co-produced the record.
The EP comes in 4 different versions: a CD packaged in a digibook format with a DVD containing the music video for "A Strange Thing to Say"; a special fan package; a 12-inch vinyl edition (with bonus track); and a standard CD release. The digibook edition comes with a 96-page booklet, a brooch, a magnet and a set of nine postcards; while the vinyl comes with an A4 12-page booklet. Each pressing of the limited editions are signed and numbered by Anna-Varney Cantodea herself.[2]
