Different fans will have differing opinions as to what the best examples of vampire fiction are. It kind of depends on what you find most compelling about the creatures. Some of the most popular vampire writers are Stephanie Meyer, Anne Rice, Darren Shan, and Bram Stoker.
Stephanie Meyer, who created Twilight decided to rewrite some of the conventional lore of the creatures. She decided to make vampires immune from garlic and sunlight. This was very different than any previous imaginations of the blood-sucking monsters. She also granted them with epic speed, which while that goes with some other vampire lore, not to the extent her vampires were capable. She made their skin hard as diamonds while other writers instead made them quick healers. She also made the blood lust controllable, which Anne Rice played with but not as thoroughly as making a vampire eat only animals and not humans, at least not by choice.
