Does anyone know if the The Ring novel(s?) by Kôji Suzuki have been printed in English, and if so, where can I find them? I’ve checked the mainstream source (amazon), and the best source ([abebooks.com](http://abebooks.com)) and havent found anything.

Please help!

I reckon if anyone would know, [these folks](http://ringworld.somrux.com/ringMerchandise.htm) would. On that merchandise page, their only listings for the novel show versions in Japanese, Chinese, and French, but no English. I reckon you’re out of luck for the time being.

Amazon Japan doesn’t have it listed, either. I’d be surprised if one wasn’t in the works, though.
