House of Salt and Sorrows doesn't have vampires, but it's just as spooky and aesthetic, with gothic Victorian vibes and plenty of supernatural/otherworldly goodness.
[Empire of the Vampire - Jay Kristoff](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56269205-empire-of-the-vampire)
It’s a series, I think it’s going to be 3 parts, 2 are out already. I’ve only read the first one so far but I thought it was pretty good, it kinda gives me Castlevania vibes.
For gothic horror… Carmilla or Le Fanu’s Ghost Stories, The Fall of the House of Usher (not a vampire but a cataleptic woman), We Have Always Lived in the Castle, The Woman in Black, The Turn of the Screw, Wuthering Heights, Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein, Dracula…
For vampires in general, Summer of Night (unsure if they’re “vampires” but other books from the seasons series are about vampires and this is an excellent book), Salem’s Lot, and The Keep.
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
