To Kill a Mockingbird is neither a fantasy, nor science fiction. However, it is one of the greatest books I've ever read (said as a major SF/Fantasy fan myself). And it's as stand alone as it gets; the author never wrote another book.

People I've talked to have said "oh yeah, I was forced to read that in school." The problem is, the book being told from the POV of a young child causes schools to mistakenly think it's for kids. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I'm glad I read this as an adult rather than a child, or even young adult.
