I want something non-mainstream and not too-much-spoken-about. It can be a series, saga, stand-alone and everything in between. When I say underrated, I don't mean like ten amazon reviews, I just mean something that doesn't get talked about often, if at all. Stuff like Sanctuary by Robert J. Crane, or Prydain. Stuff that could have influenced the greatest of authors but doesn't normally get much attention. Things that deserve more attention but haven't gotten it due to bad marketing or whatnot. Obviously, there are plenty of hidden gems out there. I just want to know what some of them are(any genre.)

*The Anubis Gates* by Tim Powers. He also wrote *On Stranger Tides* which was developed into a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. That book was ok. *The Anubis Gates* is a thing of beauty. It perfectly combines elements of fantasy and science fiction into a wonderfully byzantine plot that is nonetheless easy to follow because Powers puts the pieces in place so carefully. I’ve never met anyone who’s heard of it, let alone read it.
