Le Guin does a superb job of fleshing out her worlds.

Have to second the choices of Bradbury and Jackson, both masters at creating an atmosphere so physically palpable it practically floats off the page to envelop the reader. Some might think Tolkien an odd choice, but I can still vividly recall, decades later, many of the scenes in the LOTR trilogy--the forest of Lothlorien, the bogs of the dead, the description of the wasteland of Mordor. Those images sang in my imagination, and remain a crucial reason why I've never wished to see the Peter Jackson films; I just don't want those mental pictures to be disrupted by anyone else's vision, they came alive so powerfully for me. So I guess that qualifies as great atmospheric writing!

Seconding Bradbury, Jackson, du Maurier. Also, very similar to du Maurier— Robert Aickman. “Into the Wood” is one of the best short stories I’ve ever read, and the atmosphere doesn’t soon leave you. |

Paul Bowles, except not nice atmospheres. But VERY atmospheric. The feeling of dread hits in the first few pages, especially in Up Above The World.
