Besides the overmentioned Anne Rice, what authors or particular vampire novels do you love? I'm looking to find something engaging and interesting. Whether its more horror, more drama, more mystery, it doesn't matter. I just want something worth taking the time out to read. Any suggestions?

"The Sun Will Find You" by Chris Muffoletto. A small press publication that I was fortunate enough to find. It's a great story and not foofy or absurdly romantic like many Anne Rice or the countless non-horror derivatives that have surfaced in recent years (probably quite a few that I'd place in this category by others who have answered this question!).
It's a good solid story. Gritty, without excessive gore, good without demeaning the reader.

Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer are wonderful. I'm right now reading Prom Nights From Hell by all of these good horror/mystery authors.

Sunshine, by Robin Mckinley. It's a great vampire novel. It has a great plot, wonderful story, and ends like there might be a sequel, which I would love to see. The human/vampire interaction in the book is wonderful.

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. It's about a girl named Bella who falls in love with a vampire named Edward. Wonderful book. I just finished it. Couldn't put it down.
I would also reccomend the sequal, New Moon. Also the third book, Eclipse, which comes out August 7th.

2) Undead and unemployed
3) Undead and unappreciated
4) Undead and unreturnable
5) Undead and unpopular
6) Undead and uneasy
Also on a more serious level...

I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but I have read some by a fair number of authors at this point. I'd say my favorite is The Historian by Kostova.
