Back to "classic" fantasy, there's a bunch of D&D tie-in series, such as Dragonlance (a lot of interconnected quadralogies), Legend of Drizzt, Elminster Chronicles, et al.

Special mention goes to Tales of the Otori, set in fantasy Feudal-Japan-with-the-numbers-filed-off. Exactly five books including the prequel.

Ok, last one, The Dark Tower. Blend of fantasy and horror, written by Stephen King. Shame they never made a movie out of it. NEVER.
