Re C S Lewis. Besides the Narnia series he wrote 3 science fiction/fantasy books. "Out of the Silent Planet" (which is set principally on Mars), "Perelandra" (set mainly on Venus, and "That Hideous Strength" set on Earth. They are more adult in nature than the Narnia stories. There is also an incomplete sequel to "That Hideous Strength" called "The Dark Tower".
As I'm sure you know, Lewis and Tolkien were close friends. Another of their close friends was Charles Williams. He was also a novellist and wrote some extraordinary dark supernatural fantasy books. In chronological order they are "War in Heaven", "Many Dimensions", "The Place of the Lion", "Shadows of Ecstasy", "The Greater Trumps", "Decent into Hell", and "All Hallows' Eve". They are not a series as such. Williams is nowhere near as well known as Lewis and Tolkien.
Lewis's "That Hideous Strength" is the closest to Williams' novels.
