The Shadow over Innsmouth
The region also prominently figures in the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne and H. P. Lovecraft, notably the latter's "The Shadow over Innsmouth", as well as New England poets T. S. Eliot and Robert Lowell. Martin Scorsese's 2010 feature film "Shutter Island", set on a fictional Boston Harbor island, was partly shot on location on the North Shore. Kenneth Lonergan's 2016 film "Manchester by the Sea" is set in the eponymous seaside town, and major portions of it were filmed in Gloucester, Beverly and other North Shore communities.
