In January 2011, Hideyuki Kikuchi published the first spinoff set in the Vampire Hunter universe, a series of prequels titled Another Vampire Hunter: The Noble Greylancer, illustrated by Ayami Kojima, artist and character designer for the Castlevania series of video games. As of November 2016, 21 novels have been translated into and released in English, spanning 24 volumes.

On May 11, 2005, the first official English translation was released under DH Press, translated by Kevin Leahy. From December 2007 through January 2008, Asahi Shimbun Publishing reprinted the complete Vampire Hunter catalogue under the Sonorama Selection label. The release of D – Throng of Heretics in October 2007 under the Asahi Bunko – Sonorama Selection label marked the transition to the new publisher, Asahi Shimbun Publishing, a division of Asahi Sonorama’s parent company. All of the official publications in the series were originally published by Asahi Sonorama until the Sonorama branch went out of business in September 2007. Beginning in 1983, Kikuchi has so far written 31 Vampire Hunter novels spanning 44 volumes.
