If you want to read a true classic that features the father of all vampires, I would recommend Bram Stoker's Dracula. I feel strongly about this, because it was the first vampire book I started with. Here is a summery, as listed on the back of Dracula from Pocket Books Classic Edition.
A true masterwork of storytelling, DRACULA has transended generation, language, and culture to become one of the most popular novels ever written. It is a quintessential tale of suspense and horror, boasting one of the most terrifying characters ever born in literature: Count Dracula, a tragic night-dwelling specter who feeds upon blood of the living, and whose diabolical passions prey upon the innocent, the helpless, and the beautiful. But DRACULA also stands as a bleak allegorical saga of an eternally cursed being whose nocturnal atrocities reflect the dark underside of the supremely moralistic age in which it was originally written- and the corrupt desires that continue to plague the modern human condition.
Enjoy

It is awesome. Well written, good characters, people dying, no doe-eyed teens.... Everything twilights not. I must say, I even saw the ballet production with my friend. They even had the part where they cut off the vampire girl (was her name Lucy?) 's head off. They even lifted the head up.
