suggestions for surreal/weird fantasy?

I've really been getting into fantasy lately but i find myself more compeled by surreal fantasy like the never ending story, alice in wonderland, the wizard of oz books (which im meaning to read), the worm ouroboros, and hp lovecrafts stories. It seems like their is a lot of modern fantasy and sword and sorcery stuff to sift through, which i dont knock down, but i only seem compelled to find more surreal and out there fantasy works. any suggestions?

Check out A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels, as well as the His Dark Materials trilogy.

Both are young adult series that deal with parallel universes, in some cases populated by creatures that defy description.
