The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls

The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls is a semi-autobiographical/psychological thriller novel by Emilie Autumn. It was published in 2009 as a companion to her 2009–2010 North American, European, and Australian tour, the Asylum Tour. The book chronicles Autumn's experiences in a modern-day psych ward as well as those of a fictional young girl, "Emily-with-a-y", in Victorian England who is admitted into an insane asylum. The first and second editions, published in 2010, were large, hardcover, full-color illustrated editions, with glossy pages and weighing nearly five pounds. This version of the book has since been discontinued due to the expense involved in printing, and as of 2017 the book is only available in black-and-white in ebook and paperback forms. An audiobook version, narrated by the author, was released in 2016.

In the style of her earlier Enchant Puzzle, the e-book version contains a treasure hunt called the Quest for Spoon of the Royals, the object of which is a silver spoon adorned with gemstones and crystals, which Autumn claims is hidden "somewhere in the world". The clues for solving the puzzle and finding the spoon are supposedly hidden within this edition of the book. As of 2021, it has yet to be solved.
