Vampire books
Novels where vampires matter to the plot, as rivals, allies, rulers of the night or neighbours with inconvenient habits. The tone ranges widely: Jim Butcher's Changes pits Harry Dresden against the Red Court, Terry Pratchett's The Fifth Elephant plays vampires for sharp comedy, and Ilona Andrews mixes them into urban fantasy with a strong romantic thread. Gothic chills and modern humour sit side by side.
