Charles deLint is an author; it's a little difficult to categorize him, as he doesn't write science fiction, and he doesn't really write fantasy... he sort of does, but that's where things get difficult. His writing encompasses a few different genres: there's some fantasy in there, and mythology, and also just human interaction. Many of his stories and novels are set in the fictional town of Newford, and deal with the people who live there. Of course, not all of them are "people" in the strictest sense. Some of them are gods, some are brownies and hobs, some are mischieveous fairies... and the stories deal with how these characters interact with each other and reality.
If you want to give Charles deLint's writing a try, I'd suggest that you start with a short story volume; that way, you'll get an introduction to some of the characters without having to wander through a novel not knowing who they are. But you should definitely give him a try!
