It all started with the 1989 film Sweet Home
which had a video game version, which was the basis for the video game Resident Evil, which was the basis of the film series, both of which had series of tie-in novels.
The first prose installment was the novella Biohazard: The Beginning by Hiroyuki Ariga, included in the preorder bonus The True Story of Biohazard. A version of this was released in English titled Resident Evil: The Book, which doesn't seem to be available commercially. There are additional Japanese novels that haven't been translated to English. As of this writing, all of the below are available for Kindle.
S.D. Perry wrote a series of novelizations of the video game, with a couple of tie-ins between installments:
1998: The Umbrella Conspiracy - novelization of the original Resident Evil
1998: Caliban Cove - between 1 & 2
1999: City of the Dead - Resident Evil 2
1999: Underworld - set after 2
2000: Nemesis
2002: Code Veronica
2004: Zero Hour
There are novelizations from each movie except for Afterlife:
2004: Genesis by Keith DeCandido (novelization of Resident Evil)
2004: Apocalypse by Keith DeCandido
2007: Extinction by Keith DeCandido
2012: Retribution by John Shirley
2017: The Final Chapter by Tim Waggoner
