Resident Evil Novel

The earliest Resident Evil novel was a novella titled Biohazard: The Beginning by Hiroyuki Ariga. It was published in 1997 as a portion of the book The True Story of Biohazard.


The novels often took liberties with the plot of the games by exploring events occurring outside and beyond the games.
