Come on people, Anne Rice - perfect vampire novels - Interview with A Vampire, Lestat and there are 7-8 more novels. Watch Fright Night, Lost Boys, From Dusk Till Dawn - tons of vampire movies, but most suck...like Carmilla (a cheesy b-horror flick and yes the vampire is a lesbian)...anime I have seen Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Princess Miyu.

You should check out The Taste Of Blood Wine series by Freda Warrington. Those are brilliant vampire novels set after World War 1. You could also check Out For Blood by John Peyton Cooke about vampires being hunted by a human who wants to drink their blood, it's very good indeed.

For manga you could check out Lament Of The Lamb which is a different take on the whole vampire myth and as others mentioned Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D and also Vampire Knight.

Hope that helps.:)

Maybe I can recommend Saga of Darren Shan by Darren Shan. Though Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles is in my top list. And Dracula is not my favorite since if you make a vampire story, it sounds typical though it's the classic where most vampire story/novel originate from. And I think Anne Rice is a brilliant writer where she made a revolution to the vampire saga.

My favourite type of vampire story would be where the story goes by the vampire goes by the vampire's point of view. Not some vampire hunter. So, in other word I like manga(manwha) such as Rebirth. It has a nice storyline but sad coz the translation halted in the middle (Vol 20).

dont you hate when that happens?

Well.. Can't blame the translation(scanlation) group. The may have their own difficulty. Like short of staff etc. In the end the had to forfeit the project. I might have helped if I got the skill.
