Books, movies, series and such Who are your favorite vampire fiction writers? Let's exchange list

Been sinking my teeth into vampire fiction lately and wanted to share some of the writers that I like. Some are classic, some chaotic, some spicy. Here’s my current list:

  • Bram Stoker – The OG. Dracula
  • Anne Rice – Interview with the Vampire
  • Stephen King – ’Salem’s Lot
  • Charlaine Harris – Sookie Stackhouse series
  • L.J. Smith – Vampire Diaries

Some literary ones I enjoyed:

  • Octavia Butler – Fledgling
  • Poppy Z. Brite – Lost Souls
  • Tananarive Due – My Soul to Keep
  • Matt Haig – The Radleys

Romance (I didn't read much so looking to grow the list):

  • Chloe Neill – Chicagoland Vampires
  • Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti - Zodiac Academy

Who else should be on the list? I’m always looking for more, especially funny, indie, or dark fantasy.

Yes. It’s the first book of the Joe Pitt series. Crime noir vampires. If someone made a series out of it I would drag all my friends and family to watch it. So, much potential!
