I'm interested in reading odd non-Tolkien fantasy, which is preferably from early 20th, late 19th century sources, what can you guys recommend?
Thus farm I have been reading a decent amount of Lovecraft, and Conan The Barbarian. I just started getting into reading for pleasure I like Lovecrafts narration and general writing style, but I do not like the slowness of the story. My favorite one so far is The Shadow over Innsmouth, since the fish frog men lore was cool, the bit of action, and the twist at the end. When it comes to Conan I like the ease of reading. It so fluid that you automatically keep reading, even if you are not really enjoying it, due to Conan being a boring character. My favorite story is The Tower of the Elephant, since it has black magic, an interesting story, and a fast pace. I just finished Testaments of Athammaus by Clark Ashton Smith, and found it to be weak, but I will give CAS a couple more tries.
