the Asylum Inner Circle is now open
Sir Edward himself is waiting to welcome you inside.
The ultimate immersive community for Inmates, Plague Rats, and all citizens of the Asylum has opened its doors to the first 200 Keyholders.
Inside, you’ll find a private, members-only online sanctuary with live gatherings led by EA, real connection with fellow Inmates, and early access to new work.
Membership is $47 per month.
200 places at launch · immediate access · cancel anytime
Upon joining, a Key will be reserved in your name—securing your place within the Circle’s striped walls—and you will receive immediate access.
Once the first 200 Keys are assigned, enrollment will close and the waitlist will reopen for the next Ward Opening.
The Circle is not a fan club.
It is a private social sanctuary where Inmates can speak freely with one another and with EA directly.

What Members Are Saying
“I knew that anything EA created would feel magical, but I had no idea that I would get to participate on live video and even post the creative things I’m working on to get feedback and support. And I had so much fun in the live Inmate Show & Tell!”
— Longtime Plague Rat
“I’m so shy, I was afraid to post and chat with other Inmates at first, but Emilie reached out to me personally and encouraged me to share my writing, and everyone was so kind…I’ve never felt so safe with other people.”
— New Asylum Inmate
“Working on the Keys & Doors Method with EA and my fellow Inmates has given me the confidence and self-trust I was missing for so long. This community really feels like a family.”
— Founding Keyholder
“Practicing the KDM as a group has been a game changer for my mental health. I love having something new to look forward to every day.”
