Hello! Been reading Smith for ages.
anotherface provided a superb list of authors. I'll add two writers to it, one contemporary, one not -- both dead.
Brian MacNaughton's Throne of Bones. One of the most darkly inventive works of fantasy in recent times. Highly recommended for an aficionado of Smith's work.
And, one of the works in my mind, to equal Smith's mastery of language: The Gormenghast Trilogy of Mervyn Peake. For me, these books are the pinnacle. Desert island bound, Peake's work would be the one book I'd definitely take.

The author is deceased sadly but he created this masterpiece before he passed.
It is very dark yet funny and witty. It won the world fantasy award for best collection (it is collection of dark fantasy stories set in the same world with a cycle revolving around ghouls). It is not for the squeamish.
Edit: it is available as a $2.99 ebook. If you like this sort of stuff it is a steal at that price.
