Far Below by Robert Barbour Johnson
Plenty of racial elements didn't age well with this one. It is interesting in that it's almost all monologue and the way it's in full and open conversation with Lovecraft.

The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Le Guin has a lot of great works, but I think Lathe of Heaven doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Model Home by Rivers Solomon is a beautifully, intensely disturbing psychological horror novel with absolutely phenomenal prose, and I remain annoyed that it wasn't a finalist for either the Stoker or the Shirley Jackson Awards.
What's a book you love with all your goddamn heart that you believe did NOT get the love and attention it's due?
I'll go first, and it's abso-LUT-ely THE CITY IN GLASS by Nghi Vo. There are moments from that book that live in my blood and wake me from the dark.
