Since a lot of people here seem to enjoy Lovecraft, let me recommend The Darkly Splendid Realm, by Richard Gavin. It has a similarly evocative atmosphere, but has less of the cosmic horror and more of the personal. In my opinion the best story in the collection is "The Bitter Taste of Dread Moths." It is just fantastic.
