News on the novels front.

The first novel series that the manga Ghost Hunt is based on has been revised and will be released in Japan starting in November under the collected name: Ghost Hunt. (The original novel series did not have an official collected name. Fans refer to the books as the Evil Spirits series.)

Each title will have a subtitle referring to the specific case covered in the novel. The last multiple part book has been consolidated into a single book. Here are the titles and Japanese release dates. (Title translations by Kagedreams.) (Official Japanese web site)

Ghost Hunt 1 Ghost Story of the Old Schoolhouse (Nov 19th release)
Ghost Hunt 2 Doll's Cage (Jan 2011)
Ghost Hunt 3 Girl's Prayer (Mar 2011)
Ghost Hunt 4 Dead Souls Game (May 2011)
Ghost Hunt 5 Maze of Freshly-Spilled Blood (Jul 2011)
Ghost Hunt 6 It Came From the Ocean (Sep 2011)
Ghost Hunt 7 Open the Door (Nov 2011)

There's no word yet on whether Ono plans to continue the series beyond this revision of the original Evil Spirits novels or whether she plans to revise & rerelease the last case this isn't a part of the Evil Spirits collection.

I still hope a US publisher picks up the novels for an English-language release.
