   - Carrie by Stephen King

   - Skeleton Crew by Stephen King

   - School’s Out by Christophe Dufosse (not gory horror, more like philosophical/psych thriller)

   You could try reading:

   -Kim Harrison’s Books of the Hollows (first book: Dead Witch Walking)
   -Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series (first book: Guilty Pleasures)
   -Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series (first book: Moon Called)
   -Rob Thurman’s Nightlife
   -Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files (I recommend starting with book 2, Fool Moon, or book 3, Grave Peril)

   Now, to be honest, none of these series star teenagers, so you may be completely uninterested in them. If so, I apologize for wasting your time. If not, read on. All of the above also deal with the supernatural, if not particularly vampires–and again, if that’s not what you’re looking for, sorry. I would like to mention that the Anita Blake series doesn’t have as strong of a vampire focus as you would think from the title–she raises zombies for a living, and she executes vampires only when necessary (she also ends up dating a werewolf–a little romance there, if you will). [Also, the Anita Blake series is good for only about nine books, and then the series quality really goes downhill. But it's a truly excellent nine books.]

   Anyway, I hope some of these look good to you I really loved reading them, myself.

   RAVENOUS by Ray Garton

   A serial rapist is on the loose in the sleepy California town of Big Rock, and sheriff Farrell Hurley’s secretary is the latest victim. When a self-proclaimed werewolf hunter named Daniel Fargo comes into town claiming that Big Rock has an infestation of the creatures, Hurley thinks the man is insane, until the eviscerated corpses and attacks by large animals start in earnest. For Garton, lycanthropy is an STD, spread mostly through rape, that runs rampant through a small town fraught with affairs and intrigues. His werewolf is a terrifying creature: not a remorseful, helpless cursed human but a homicidal beast driven by a dual urge to breed and feed. Hurley is a sheriff to root for, and Garton’s well-paced horror novel reworks the werewolf myth to great effect.
