How many others are into good ol' vampire/goth books? Read the 'Twilight series, I loved them but I'm running out of good vampire books to read; I've currently read around two hundred of them. I found the Vampire Academy series too boring though.

I’m a sucker (pardon the pun lol) for goth lit have you read Dracula and other horror classics by Bram Stoker?

Maggie Shayne's older books are more vampire/goth. So is Kim Newman's series, it is more horror. To be honest I have only read Anno Dracula but I loved it, its a twist on Jack the ripper.
Most authors now aren't limiting themselves to just vampires, most releases now have vampires, shapeshifters and a whole lot of other paranormal beings. I work in a romance book store and we have hundreds of new books. Sandra Hill has just started a deadly angels series that has Viking Vampire Angels :)

Therr's also the Jane Yellowrock books by Faith Hunter (first one is called Skinwalker), about a shapechanger who works for vampires. Another good series which features vampires is the 'Hollows' series by Kim Harrison. Main character is a witch who is partnered with a vampire. First book is called 'Dead Witch Walking'

Immortals after dark is a good series I also suggest
Anita Blake vampire hunter it is a tad bit gory but still a good read

You could also try the "Sookie Stackhouse" books by Charlaine Harris. (Don't be put off by the fact that "True Blood" the TV series is based on these - the books are better). First one is "Dead Until DarK'.

Try 'Sunshine' by Robin McKinley. It's a really interesting take on the whole vampire/human relations idea, and a great read :)

I have read the Twilight Series, the first book of the VA series, and the first 4 books of The Vampire Diaries.

Hi there...I absolutely love vampire stories. My favourite is the Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine. I have just started reading them all over again for about the twentieth time! Also, I agree that the Vampire Academy series were a little boring and quite predictable as well. You could easily guess what would happen next before the end of each chapter. Having said that though, I did rather enjoy the following series that mainly focused upon Sydneys' life and trials.

I've read all the Morganville vampire books; they're predictable but a good, strong. Thanks for your suggestion, much appreciated story line

Really? I loved the Vampire Academy series. In fact I think it opened up my eyes after reading the Twilight series. I thought the Twilight series was good until I read VA. I thought that Richelle Mead was a much better writer than Stephanie Meyer.
