So I've got some excellent vampire books to recommend:
The 30 Days of Night series by Steve Niles is awesome. These books are based around vampire attacks in an Alaskan town during the winter...ergo the title. These books are graphic horror novels (okay, they're comic books), so reader beware...but if you like vampires, you'll love these.
For the lightweights and wussies, I recommend these:
The Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman is great. These books are cool because along with the author's characters, there are historical characters and famous fictional characters (like Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde or James Bond) who all play different roles in actual historical events. The kicker is that many of these characters are vampires living in a society where vampirism is accepted. Nice. I really enjoyed these books and got nerdily excited when familiar characters would come into play.
For those of you who need something a little more substantial in your vampire literature, I highly recommend The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. This book is excellent, even if you're not into vampires. This book is so well written and follows three different story lines from different time periods that all lead to Vlad Dracula.
Okay, those are my recommendations. There's something for everyone here, so read them then let me know what you think.
