Most people think of movies and famous books when you mention the word vampire. Books like Dracula, Interview with a Vampire, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They also envision movies such as Van Helsing, Underworld, Dracula, and The Forsaken. There are a few who actually take time to search for the other books that would help them see different views of the mythical vampires.
An adult series of books are the Diaries of the Family Dracul, by Jeanne Kalogridis. Covenant with the Vampire, Children of the Vampire, and Lord of the Vampire. These books are for adults because of their strong lesbian sexual descriptions. These books introduce a new kind of vampire and some new theories of the origin of vampires. It is an adaptation of the Dracula myth involving Van Helsing.
A set of vampire stories for the children would be the Cirque Du Freak serious by Darren Shan. Shan reinvents the myth of the vampire same as Rice and Stoker did in their stories. Shan includes two colonies of Vampires and allows them to war with each other while adding in here and there help from other fantastic creatures. This series is good for kids in middle school.
Christine Feehan wrote the Dark Series. These are romantic stories involving vampires. As far as I can tell there is no real connection between the five books in the series. The books are as listed; Dark Demon, Dark Melody, Dark Celebration, Dark Secret, and Dark Destiny.
The Noble Dead Saga follows the actions of a Vampire Slayer. There are currently five books in this series. Dhampir, Thieves of Lives, Sisters of the Dead, Traiter to the Blood, and Rebel Fay.
There are well over seven hundred stories involving vampires. There are almost as many different myths that these stories create. I hope I have given a list of books that may interest you.
