^True. Anne Rice did a fantastic job with her vampiric works; Lestat was amazing (the fact that he pretty much flat out announced the existence of vampires to the world, and nobody believed him amuses me to this day).

I also quite liked how they were portrayed in those Patricia Briggs novels; not particularly good storylines, and the main character made me want to facepalm at how ridiculous she was at times,, but the world building was excellent, and there was quite a lot of thought put into the monsters of said world. Vampires were particularly good there, totally inhuman, undead monsters, and they knew it (except for that one fellow who thought it was a good idea to purchase a VW bus and paint it up like the Mystery Machine.........don't ask me why).
