Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Attic Expeditions
Trevor awakens in a mental hospital with hardly a recollection of the murder of his girlfriend. He can only vaguely recall a magical ceremony involving a strange book. Dr. Ek, the sanitarium director has devised a way to "help" Trevor to remember what crimes that he committed by using his very own experimental procedure. Trevor is sent to 'The House of Love' which is a halfway house branch of the asylum. The patients there all seem to have something to hide which makes Trevor very suspicious. He believes the secret to his past and answers to his present lie up in the attic which nobody is allowed to enter. While Trevor tries to figure out what is happening around him, Dr. Ek's sinister master plan is revealed.
--Alicia, Resident Scholar
