Also hmm, have you tried Caitlin Kiernan's -- middle-period books I guess they would be? Her first novel, Silk, was kind of ehh, but there's a diptych (basically) after that called Threshold and Low Red Moon that I really like -- lots of good characters, the writing's more controlled, and some genuinely creepy stuff. There's also a new comic out called Alabaster Wolves about one character from those stories, that looks quite good.
The next two in the series, Murder of Angels and Daughter of Hounds, fizzle badly (especially the latter one) and with depressing predictability I don't like her more recent books that have been praised to the skies (Red Tree, Drowning Girl). But Threshold and Low Red Moon were quite good - urban fantasy, but in the deep South, with lots of local colour and detail, and a kind of Lovecraftian ethos.
