I just assumed anyone who wrote

could handle novels written for adults.

My first thoughts were Michael Moorcock (plenty to choose from. Elric might be a good start, though I'm not sure about the reordered way the series is available now), Gene Wolfe (The Book of the New Sun) or John Crowley (Otherwise collects three of his most popular novels, The Deep, Beasts and Engine Summer).

I may be taking the "expand my literary horizons" part too seriously if he's just looking for fantasy that is different from the Tolkein mould.
