My favorite is Midnight Mass. It's a short vampire story set in NJ featuring a catholic priest wrongly accused of pedophillia and his best friend, an orthodox jewish rabbi.
My favorite is Transilvania Chronicles, an epic story starting in the transilvanian mountains in the year 1201, ending in the New York of 1998.

I am Legend by Richard Matheson. It is quite interesting the way he tries to give vampirism a scientific background.
(strange I just meantioned him in an earlier post)

Neither. They team up to take back the priest's parish from the real pedophile priest who became the leader of the vampires in that area.

Also I would advise anyone who like Bram Stoker's Dragula to look for a book called Dragula's Guest which was meant to be in Dracula, but was edited out due to length

My favorite is "The Vrydyluk", its a folk tale so there are several different versions , the one that people wil be most familiar with is the version that is in Alexey Tolstoy book "The Vampyr", there was a old b/w movie with Boris Karloff as the vampire.

Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. Good story plus lots of graphic sex and violence. I'm madly in lust with both Asher and Jean-Claude.

Must say I preferred Blood & Gold myself (Marius's story).

I did enjoy "Blood and Gold," I've always liked Marius, truthfully I didn't like Armand as much, but my vote would have to be for Anne Rice's "Memnoch the Devil" which is another Lestat novel (The vampire from the "Interview with a Vampire" and "Queen of the Damned" movies).

You guys don't have great grand mothers who tell you really scary vampire stories that give you nightmares. Damn why did I luck out.

Good man, I read that story and thought it was one of the most innovative vampire stories I'd ever read.
Additional to this is Carmilla, I can't remember who its by, but is a quite early vampire tale if I recall.
That and, I'm not sure whether it could strictly be called "vampire" but The Case of Charles Dexter Ward deal with a vaguely vampiric devil worshiping ancestor, and is quite possibly the most entertaining horror story I've ever read. That one was written by HP Lovecraft.

Hey, Lestat is also in "The Vampire Lestat".

Fevre Dream by George R. R. Martin. He's just a brilliant writer, and his characters are incredibly vivid. But that said, I'm not really much of one for vampire stories.
