Shutter Island: '''''Shutter Island''''' is a novel by American writer Dennis Lehane, published by Harper Collins in April 2003. A film adaptation was released in February 2010. Lehane has said he sought to write a novel that would be an homage to Gothic settings, B movies, and pulp. He described the novel as a hybrid of the works of the Brontë sisters and the 1956 film ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers''. His intent was to write the main characters in a position where they would lack 20th-century resources such as radio communications. He also structured the book to be more taut than his previous book, ''Mystic River''.
