Vampire Horror Books Ranked: The Ones That Didn’t Suck (and the Ones I DNF'd) | Books That Bite

If you’re hunting for vampire horror books to add to your shelf, welcome to this YouTube edition of Books That Bite — the series where I tell you exactly which vampire books belong in your vampire library… and which ones are getting staked immediately.

In this episode, I’m recapping every vampire book I read in 2025. We’re talking gothic classics, feminist rage, historical horror, messy friendships, tragic immortality, and (of course) plenty of lesbian vampires. I break down the books that didn’t suck, the ones that absolutely did, and the vampire horror books sitting at the top of my priority TBR for 2026.

If you love vampire horror books, gothic literature, sapphic vampires, dark feminine vibes, and stories that mix blood, desire, female rage, and heartbreak, you’re in the right place. Grab a drink, sharpen your fangs, and let’s get into it.
