What book/book series would you like to see made into a TV show?

[Ryujin]

Given the many shows that are being turned into TV series, these days, do you have one that you would like to see optioned?

For my part, I would like to see Robert Adams "Horseclans" serialized. Virtual immortals guiding a society back from the apocalypse? Intelligent, telepathic sabretooth cats as companions? Billy the Axe and Sir Geros? Clean it up a little, for a more modern audience, and I think that the Horseclans world could be pretty engaging.

Steven Eriksons Malazan books of the Fallen.

I'd love someone to take another run at The Dresden Files. Preferably something miniseries-style, with each season covering 2-3 of the novels.

I hadn't heard of those before. The GURPS tie-in with both that and Horseclans is interesting.

I've never read any of the books in that series, but I liked the TV series and still occasionally watch the old episodes on HULU. I'm sure they'd have to go with different actors but I'd love to see another attempt at it.

I enjoyed the "Dresden Files" series too and was sorry to see it end so quickly.

Lovecraft's work

Lieber's stuff could be good, but DEFINITELY a cable show.

As for Lovecraft, I could see that working as a "whole Mythos" series- so including works by other authors- that worked like The Twilight Zone or earlier Dr. Who. That would let them do some multi-episode stories, especially for the (few) recurring characters.

I was thinking more of "Tales from the Darkside", but yeah
