For book recs, seconding Amanda Downum! And I believe the third in her Necromancer Chronicles - Bone Palace is the second book in the trilogy - is coming out this month.
I love anything by Catherynne M Valente, but her Prester John series might be right up your alley. Her Orphan's Tales books are amazing, and I also really liked Palimpsest. Pro-woman, pro-queer (Palimpsest won a Lambda Award for GLBT Science Fiction or Fantasy), pro-diversity.
If you like dark fantasy, Caitlin Kiernan's a lot of awesome; she's a lesbian, so many of her characters are too, and she's also a transwoman . The Red Tree is my go-to for a good ghost story.
