Well, at least the (Swedish) film version was good, maybe the book is worth reading too.

Just write your own.

If you are /tg/ inclined you should try Vampire the Requiem fiction books by Greg Stolze.

I've read a few of the Let-the-Right-One-In-guys books and they're pretty good but not the one with zombies imo. Dracula by Bram Stoker is an obvious book, short. Rice isn't so bad at times. Reading doesn't have to be super serious.
You should watch the movie Nosferatu (1922) too, at some point. Excellent movie, very nightmarish.

Carmilla is straight up /u/ material.

Varney the Vampire, pre-dates Dracula and is more entertaining and endearing

Classics, so good.

Vampyr and the 1931 Dracula are way better imo

>>7481801
Vampyre sucks ass, though, especially compared to Fragments of a Vampire Novel by Byron, which originated at the same time and has simlar themes and motifs

The Saga of Darren Shan is surprisingly good. Plus the obvious Dracula. And if you want a good film try Stoker, there's no vampires in it but it borrows heavily from the genre.

Nope.

Sunshine by Robin McKinley. McKinley is quite a well-respected genre author and this is definitely a bit different in that it's quite uplifting in tone. It's not fine literature, but neither is Anne Rice and it's certainly better than all the YA dreck out there. If you're open to DVDs, consider Only Lovers Left Alive or Byzantium, two pretty decent vampire films from the last few years.

It's not great, but it's fun and worth a read. Esp if someone is interested in vampires..
