I would go and check out a bunch of reviews on..Steven Erikson - one of my current favorites, there seem to be those who love Erikson those who love Martin and those that like them both.. there often compared to each other but are quite different I find.Glen Cook's Black Company Series - dark military fantasy (predecessor to Erikson) Scott Lynch - Fantasy.. Ocean's 11.. kind of thieves tale but betterChina Mieville - part of the new weird movement might find some Kafka influence in thereJoe Abercrombie - good well told fantasy, hits somewhere between the classic stuff and Erikson/MartinP.C Hodgell - "Dark of the Gods", dark fantasy - retired university lit prof  good writing...Jeff Vandermeer - short, heavy, thick, wordy -part of the new weird movement  as well if you like language you have to chew on this is good..On the Zelazny note if you had missed it his book "Manna from Heaven" which came out after his death contains a couple short Amber stories which occur after the other Amber books.</blockquote>
