For those of you interested in the field of mythic fiction, here's my recommended reading list in no particular order:

War for the Oaks by Emma Bull
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Outside the Dog Museum by Jonathan Carroll
Forests of the Heart by Charles de Lint
The Wood Wife by Terri Windling
The Tooth Fairy by Graham Joyce
Godmother Night by Rachel Pollack
Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
King Rat by China Mieville
Last Call by Tim Powers
Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson
Stranger Things Happen by Kelly Link

These books are a good place to start. There are also fantastic books by Patricia A. McKillip, Tanith Lee, Angela Carter, Delia Sherman, Patricia C. Wrede, and many others. It's a wide open field. Also check out the Snow White, Blood Red, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, and forthcoming The Green Man: Tales From the Mythic Forest anthologies, all edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling.
