None of those are familiar to me; but one of the things I love about smaller libraries is the preponderance of oddities in their collections. I read a trilogy from the Hickory Grove Public Library about a think called "gundspreaking" (pale, floaty vegetarians lived in treetops; dark, solid meat-eaters had been trapped underground) that turns up zero Google searches. I have no idea who wrote them or what they were actually called, but I could describe long passages of them, and no one I've met has ever read them besides me. I hope all readers have that - a book that populates our world but (to our knowledge) no one else's. It feels like a gift.
For what it's worth, I have never identified myself as a "fan." I've read fantasy, mythology, fairy tales, science fiction all my life, and I never thought of it as anything other than completely normal. I lived in a lot of places as a child, and every new school had cool new fantasy books I'd never read before and other kids who read them.
