Books – fiction – where the main characters either is a vampire, or deals with vampires in some fashion.
Honorable exceptions: Dracula, by Bram Stoker, and Anno Dracula by Kim Newman.

I’m a huge fan of Dracula…is one of my favorite books if not THE favorite, so I tend to shy away from books with vamps. I broke this rule with Colleen Gleason’s books, of course, and have really enjoyed them. They don’t compare to Dracula, but they aren’t meant to.
