The limited deluxe 4-disc edition of the album comes in the form of a 128-page hardback book containing lyrics and ghost stories illustrated by Hajo Mueller. Mueller also designed the album's front cover artwork. In addition to the deluxe edition, there will be regular CD, CD/DVDV media book, Blu-Ray, and 2LP vinyl editions, with the DVDV and Blu-ray editions featuring a 5.1 mix of the album and other bonus material.
