I like True Blood...
But Anne Rice I think did the best with vampires. I am talking books here.
Non-sparkly, deadly and very seductive.
I love the lore and history she instilled into it, so many people just do the superficial, she really solidified the world...
I gotta mention, for anyone into this sort of stuff, I highly recommend the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. Very cool, though after a few books it becomes more erotica then vampires lol. Still alot of good stuff in there.
