"Brokeback Mountain" is a short story from Annie Proulx which became a major film.

Sherlock Holmes appeared in 56 short stories, and has reportedly been played on TV more than any other single character.

Stephen King's book Different Seasons has four novellas, three of which became movies: "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" became The Shawshank Redemption, "Apt Pupil" became Apt Pupil, and "The Body" became Stand by Me. (I'm going to assume you don't count Creepshow because it adapted several King stories.)

ETA Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has spawned both films and the current TV series Sleepy Hollow, with Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie.
