Dracula and Dracula´s guest by Bram Stoker
Clarimonde by Theophile Gautier
Carmilla by Sheridan LeFanu
Honorable mentions:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by R L Stevenson
Vampyre by John Polidori
Tongue

These and:
Vampire and Pale lady by Alexandre Dumas

I'm glad to see "Clarimonde" getting some love! That's one of my favorite vampire stories. Varney, the Vampyre, which I saw mentioned upthread, is tons of fun too, and it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who appreciates it. Smile

Other favorites include Jane Eyre, of course, and Dracula, equally of course. The Woman in White, by Wilkie Collins, and Lady Audley's Secret, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. And I know I'm forgetting many other great classics, but these are the ones that spring to mind right now.
