What would you recommend?

I'm looking for books written by non-mainstream authors in fantasy and/or sci fi and or/horror. I seem to be stuck in a rut as far as authors go, so I'm looking for something different in order to start branching out a little. :)

I recommend the following:

Catherynne M Valente, The Orphan's Tales and Yume no Hon and Palimpsest
M John Harrison, Viriconium and The Course of the Heart
KJ Bishop, The Etched City
Andreas Eschbach, The Carpet Makers
Kij Johnson, The Fox Woman
Angelica Gorodischer, Kalpa Imperial
Tim Pratt, The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl
Benjamin Parzybok, Couch
Nicole Kornher-Stace, Desideria

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by non-mainstream, but that list includes less conventional authors published in large and small presses. Hopefully you'll find some books you like!
