Have you ever read Gene Wolfe? He is the great fantasy/sf author after Tolkien. Not as well known as many others because of the complexity of his stories and, I think, because his storytelling is quite antithetical to modern conceptions.
I found the Gormenghast fantasy series by Mervyn Peake to be very good. It takes place in a sprawling, decaying, Gothic structure filled with poetic style, complex psychology, plots driven by character interaction, and a strong sense of mood.
