Some fantasy that is unlike anything else in the genre that I've read:

Dreamhunter and Dreamquake by Elizabeth Knox. It's two books, but it feels like one book in two physical volumes (and best of all, it's complete.) Don't bother reading any descriptions of the series. They don't do it justice at all, and I almost didn't pick them up. But they are fascinating and gorgeous and unlike anything else I've ever read.

Anything by Nina Kiriki Hoffman, particularly A Fistful of Sky, which is just about as urban as fantasy comes, but it's very strange and delicious, with a flavor that's very very different and very very good.
