I'm glad to see somebody else recognizes the literary quality of Fritz Leiber. Being of an older generation whose works are not new, no company feels it important to promote him these days, but his work heralded a very different kind of fantasy world: a rather cynical place, much closer in many respects to our own, for all the presence of magic and swords. Leiber's deft understanding of human psychology (he was also a psychiatrist in reallife) informs his characters' motivations--rather than the usual placemarkers which inform so much techno-science fiction, and AD&D stuff.
I'd also like to mention Jack Vance, whose great fantasy began in the late forties and continues into the nineties, and the team of Pratt and de Camp, who wrote some delightful tales mixing humor and adventure--such as Land of Unreason, and the Incomplete Enchanter series. Well worth getting.
