Vampire books that don't suck

Along with zombies, vampires are the bread and butter fattening up the horror industry, so making a vampire list is both very easy and very difficult. I don't try to be all obscure when I curate these lists, but i also don't want to make a list that is so basic that it's completely valueless because duh, Dracula. To that end, the titles I have selected emphasize diversity and strong atmosphere, and while there are a few obvious choices, I think there are some excellent books here about those charismatic bloodsuckers that will be new to many and are well worth inviting into your homes.

And yeah, i included Bunnicula. My list, my rules.
