If you want great atmosphere, see if you can track down some of Robert Neil's novels, in particular Mist over Pendle (about witchcraft in the late Middle Ages), Hangman's Cliff (about smugglers and spies in the late 19th century) or Moon in Scorpio (about Jacobites). He doesn't fall into the category of 'can't right a good novel', though, because he can.
Gary Gygax, Oscar Wilde, and other masters of atmosphere

I like the atmospheric writing anf general prose stylings of people like Jack Vance, Cordwainer Smith, Fritz Lieber, Gene Wolfe, Roger Zelazny, M. John Harrison and Samuel R. Delany. I'm a big fan of Wilde, too.
The nicest thing I can say about Gary Gygax's prose is that he designed an amazing game.
