I'm particularly fond of the contemporary fantasy genre. Writers include Tanya Huff, Tim Powers, Charles de Lint, Mercedes Lackey, Neil Gaiman, Peter S beagle, etc.
Tim Powers' work, the Fault Lines series in particular, blows my mind. He paints a picture of an incredibly odd reality just under ours that is at the same time frightening and sadly gentle. Incredible stuff.
