H.P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, The Silver Key, Through the Gates of the Silver Key - these are fantasy rather than horror. Lord Dunsany, The King of Elfland's Daughter - pre-Tolkien fantasy, a strong influence on Lovecraft. Tanith Lee, Travellers on the Road - essentially a horror story in a fantasy setting. Kim Newman (writing as Jack Yeovil), Drachenfels - party of adventurers defeats the Evil Wizard, 25 years later one of them who has political ambitions hires a playwright to dramatise the story as a PR stunt. Best read after a lot of other fantasy.
I've not read them myself, but I've heard some good things about Stephen King's fantasy novels.
