Oh yeah, I'd second The Great and Secret Show. It stands pretty well on its own from memory.
There is a sequel, Everville, which I liked not as much. Clive has been threatening a third book to complete the trilogy for 25 years. But I do think the first book is a satisfying single read.
Speaking of Clive, Weaveworld would also be a good suggestion.
There's also Imajica, a good fat dark fantasy from Clive, but I haven't read that one yet.
