I'm interested in finding some good books. Preferably suspense, vampires, and possibly mystery?

What are your suggestions?

Darren shan saga, both vampires and demons.

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman might be worth a read, I certainly enjoyed it.

Have you tried the originals from the genre, like Dracula and Frankenstein?

I'm reading Frankenstein at the moment and it's a good read, though it is written in flowery olde english

Afie I give you credit. I can't stand ready those old books. I read Frankenstein in high school and that book will never be touched again by my fingers haha. I would offer you some help, but I am more into non-fiction and anti-war books (Just finished Slaughter House 5 and am currently reading Tree of Smoke).

try the liveship trilogy by robin hobb
or the assassin trilogy by the same author

she has created a wonderful world full of dragons and people 'witted' to animals,
no vampires but all very good reads

The Historian Elizabeth Kostova - brilliant book about Dracula

You Should read the Rats Trilogy by James Herbert, Excellent Books

The Historian Elizabeth Kostova - brilliant book about Dracula

Excellent book . . . up to the ending. It just felt rushed and anti-climactic to me. It was almost like the author suddenly realized she only had 20 pages left she could write and just stuck in a quick ending.

Stephen King's "Salem's Lot" is a great vampire book.

So it wasn't just me who was disappointed with the ending then?! I couldn't put the book down tho, so it's still worth reading.

not really sure, but for those who like the odd/surreal try Froth on the daydream it is a novel written Boris Vian. it paints a real world in your head, though being from 1947, it may not be to today's taste. and again slightly off topic but, First Blood, not the Rambo tripe, but the original book, is a spellbinding read. it even ties in with the ending of the new Rambo film. though there is no other relation. and for fantasy there is nothing better, in my view than the lord of the rings trilogy
