They've been overlooked too long though and need attention. I have some more non-fantasy books/stories to get to and then by June I'll be back my swords and sorcerers.  |
Tad Williams is an amazing author, I loved his Otherland series, but I am guessing it would be too Sci-Fi for you. His new book "Dirty Streets of Heaven" was ones of the books you just burst out laughing while reading it. It's set in a contemporary time to ours, and isn't really fantasy but kinda...and the whole thing is written like a Noir film, really entertaining.
However, I never read "Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn" from him but judging by his other works, I would say go ahead and try it out anyway.
