PurplePoison95 I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of good vampire books to read. I've read a lot and i need some more!
I highly recommend Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" personally. If you're interested in "old school" vampires, chase down the short story "Carmilla" by Sheridan LeFanu, Dracula by Bram Stoker (obviously!), and Dr. John Polidori's "The Vampyre".
If you want something a little different, check out the "Dhampir" series by Barb & J.C. Hendee (Dhampir, Thief of Lives, Traitor to the Blood, Sister of the Dead, and Child of a Dead God)--the title character, Magiere, is a half-human/half-vampire who hunts vampires with her half-elf partner, and they're pretty good if you like fantasy novels.
I've read a few of Laurell Hamilton's "Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter" novels, and they're really good if you like a 'film noir' style story. (I love her "Merry Gentry" novels about Faerie myself!)
Also, even though the title character's a wizard, several of Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files" novels feature some serious vampires. Don't know if they'd do anything for you or not, but you might give them a try.
Also, I can recommend several non-fiction works such as The Vampire Book by J. Gordon Melton (a good encyclopedia of almost everything vampire-related up to the point where it was published), Piercing the Darkness and The Science of Vampires by Dr. Katherine Ramsland, and Vampires Among Us (but I can't remember offhand who wrote it... sad )

I've read most of these books and I agree that they all are pretty good. The vampire book by J. Gordon Melton is like my bible.
