Personally, I haven't read a lot of vampire material, but I did enjoy Peter Watts's take on vampires in Blind Sight, and I watched Sinners earlier this year and thought that movie was fantastic.

SCARY Sci-FI Books for Spooky Season
The Long Walk is a simple story with a group of boys walking along a road slowly getting eliminated one by one, but King does a great job of developing the pacing as he perfectly balances the tension of the walk with some entertaining dialogue between the characters. In the end, I gave the book an 8 out of 10 and the film a 7 out of 10.
