Well, I tried Clive Barker's Imajica. I read the first 100 pages and hated it. Most of the story was pointless everyday blabla, the characters were mostly worthless ordinary nobodies, the cosmology was ridiculous rather than fantastic. (Merchants traveling the Dominions selling exotic souvenirs? Please. It feels more like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy than any serious fantasy.) It's not even remotely horrific. If it's even "dark", then it's a whining, tree-hugging, moralizing emo kind of "dark".
Awful. Couldn't bear to read any more.
I'll move on to some of the other suggestions. I just wanted to rant.
