Author Pimping: Tanith Lee
She wrote my favorite book in the entire world, Don't Bite The Sun.
She writes science fiction, fantasy and some horror on the mythological level rather than the mechanical one. There are rarely any physics lectures on How Magic/Technology Works. It just fucking does.
She wrote the Flat Earth series, which, by all accounts, should have been glommed onto by the goth types, since they feature a race of incredibly beautiful demons who are pale-skinned, black-haired, averse to sunlight and amazing in bed. (On the other hand, maybe it's better that those books are comparatively obscure, I don't know if I could handle gothlets writing Vazdru Mary-Sues.)
She writes opulently and sensually. And wittily.
She's also written a lot of YA stuff, some of which I've read. But I recommend her grown-up work the most.
Don't Bite The Sun is back in print, bound up with its sequel Drinking Sapphire Wine under the title Biting The Sun. I recommend it. I've also seen The Silver Metal Lover is back in print (I always cry at the ending), along with its sequel Metallic Love, which is a headbending read.
She has a website at http://www.tanithlee.com if you want to check it out.

I can't say I'm overfond of her writing style, sorry.

(I read the Flat Earth series some twenty plus years ago...)
Read most of what she wrote, actually. She's on my all time favorite list.
