'Middle Class' Fantasy

I've been re-reading a lot of old Weird Tales style stuff lately, like Clark Ashton Smith and the like and it fired upan interest to look over the fantasy section in Borders. Having browsed it, there seems to be in no way any sort of imaginative or progressive element to the genre, it's all trilogies set in knight land and magic dragons.

Where's the weirdness that a lot of the pulps produced and the early paperback authors like Poul Anderson and Karl Edward Wagner? Or even straight up adventure stories like Robert E Howard?
