I will second Cupp's choice of The Goat Without Horns, and further amend it to include anything by Thomas Burnett Swann, who was a brilliant and elegantly poetic writer, sadly forgotten these days. I have all his works but one, Queens Walk in the Dust, which was only ever released as a very limited edition; copies go for upwards of $200 now.
Never cared for Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series, but I don't care much for swords and sorcery stuff, so I admit I'm biased. I did like Conjure Wife. I haven't read Night's Black Agents (although I've read "The Girl With the Hungry Eyes"), so I'll have to find a copy somewhere. And Charles Beaumont is another one of my favorite writers.
Other stuff on the lists I ditto:
E. R. Eddison's The Worm Ouroboros T. E. D. Klein's The Ceremonies (and his stories, too) Leigh Brackett's The Long Tomorrow Philip Jose Farmer's A Feast Unknown
Thank you for the link and for the list - I know and love many of the books, but there are even more to find and enjoy. PS. The Emancipator trilogy by Ray Aldridge is long overdue for a reprint.
Since I mostly read short stories, that's what I personally concentrated on for my piece but there are lots of books out there that should be available.
