Specifically, I'm inquiring about books which haven't been made into games yet.
And yes, short stories and comic books count.

Not necessarily. It depends on how creative the game is; for example, I've heard nothing but good things about Call of Cthulhu, which was based on a short story, and there was a video game based on Small Soldiers which was completely different from the film and did not ruin the story of the film in any way.

I totally agree. I'd love to see a survival game based on The Mist or The Tommyknockers.

You mean that story from Everything's Eventual? I can't remember the name of it, but it was part of the Dark Tower series, and yes that would make a badass game.

I meant to say THESE books :P
First of all, The Name of The Wind + The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, just because I am in love with them at the moment. They would actually be sort of difficult to turn into a game. But I am obsessed.
Secondly, I just finished reading Zoo City which was absolutely insane. It would make an Africa meets Steampunk game with a lot of mystery-solving, fighting and absurd imagery.

Well i only selected this because every video game based off something usually ruins it, similar to how movies do a lot. Which is why i would prefer to keep them seperate, all though i would be really happy if they can make a perfect game from
