Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu is a vampire classic.
*Carmilla* – lesbian vampires. that’s it. that’s the pitch.
*Hungerstone* by Kat Dunn, based on the vampire novella, *Carmilla* easily one of my favorite books of all time.

If you're into classical works, then Dracula by Bram Stoker, Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, or even the long poem Christabel by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Carmilla by Sheridan le Fanu inspired Dracula. Language is dated but it’s the vibe.
