Can anyone recommend a vamp book that’s not romance kinda like the Vampire The Masquerade Walk Among Us.
I'm a guy who loves playing world of darkness TTRPG games. I have read all the fiction they have. I'm a vamp story fan looking for one that’s crazy suspenseful full of intrigue and back stabbing and good vamp fun.

Have you read Anne Rice's series?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vampire_Chronicles


This torrent looks good, but comments say files are incomplete.

another set here
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/vampire-chronicles-b01-13-anne-rice/
with its own problems.

Anyway, read the first one "Interview With the Vampire" and see what you think.

I hope one or more of these fits the bill.


Templeverse - Shayne Silvers (ongoing)
  Urban Fantasy. This one is three separate Urban Fantasy series set in the same universe. Nate Temple (m), Callie Penrose (f), and Quinn McKenna (f). Vampires are side characters. Contains magic, gods, shapeshifters, vampires, mythology, Fae and more. I like the Nate books the best but the others round out the story.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/templeverse-books-05-34-shade-of-devil-books-1-3-shayne-silvers-cameron-oconnell-3/

Nightlord - Garon Whited (ongoing)
  Fantasy. One of my favorite ongoing series. Eric's a different kinda vamp. Multiple worlds, techno-magic, swords, dragons, gods. 7 books so far plus a spin-off. Can get a little over technical in the descriptions (long winded) I like it you might not.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/nightlord-books-1-71-and-bonus-stories-garon-whited/

Salem's Lot - Stephen King (standalone)
  Classic horror, NOT GORE.  At least one character gets a crossover into the Dark Tower series.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/stephen-king-87-audiobook-collection-ebooks-stephen-king/

The Strain Trilogy - Guillermo del Toro (complete)
  Urban Fantasy/Horror/Apocalypse/Gore
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/strain-trilogy-books-1-3-guillermo-del-toro-chuck-hogan/

Watch - Sergei Lukyanenko (complete)
  Urban Fantasy set in Moscow. Shapeshifters, Magic, Vampires. Light vs Dark. Books 1-5 all 3-4 stars. (*note* for me to rate a book 5 stars I won't be able to put it down, even in the bath.)
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/night-watch-books-1-6-sergei-lukyanenko/

Monster Hunter International - Larry Correia (ongoing)
  Urban Fantasy. The lead in most of these books is Owen Zastava Pitt a  6'6" monster hunter. Vampires, werewolves, eldritch horrors. 4 stars
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/monster-hunter-international-octology-monster-hunter-international-1-8-larry-correia-sarah-a-hoyt/

Joe Pitt - Charlie Huston (complete)
  Urban Fantasy. Joe Pitt Vampire PI. Vamps are organized into clans/gangs.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/joe-pitt-casebooks-books-1-5-charlie-huston/

Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter - John G. Hartness (complete?)
  Urban fantasy. Mina Murray and Jonathan Harker's son, Dracula's nephew Quincy Harker. Vampires, demons, angels, and magic. Books 1-19 available on ABB. Book 20 has been requested but not yet posted. Lots of fun and ass kicking. 3-4 stars
https://audiobookbay.lu/?s=john+g+hartness&cat=undefined%2Cundefined
                           
Fat Vampire - Johnny B. Truant (complete)       
  Urban Fantasy. Set in modern times, has some funny momnents. 4 Stars Scy-Fy made a TV show.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/fat-vampire-books-1-6-johnny-b-truant/

Discworld - Terry Pratchett (complete)
  Fantasy. This one is a stretch but vampires do exist in Discworld. They have bars, a country and everything. If you've never read Discworld your nerd card should be revoked. 41+ books of fun fantasy written by a master. The "Death" books are the best. Has both male and female leads depending on which series within the series.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/terry-pratchett-collection-terry-pratchett/

The Shining - Stephen King (complete)
  Paranormal. Psychic vampires.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/stephen-king-87-audiobook-collection-ebooks-stephen-king/

The Saga of Darren Shan - Darren Shan (complete)
  YA Fantasy. Fun and easy.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/cirque-du-freak-1-12-collection-darren-shan-2/

Shade of Devil - Shayne Silvers (ongoing)
  Urban Fantasy. The first vampire is back after a healing sleep. He wants his stuff and maybe some revenge. I like this author a lot.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/templeverse-books-05-34-shade-of-devil-books-1-3-shayne-silvers-cameron-oconnell-3/

Ascendant Kingdoms - Gail Z. Martin (complete)
  Epic Fantasy. High magic world, Vampires, War. Fun and easy read.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/ascendant-kingdoms-saga-gail-z-martin/

Caulborn - Nicholas Olivo (complete)
  Urban Fantasy. Vampires, gods, magic, dragons. Fun 3-4 stars
https://audiobookbay.lu/?s=nicholas+olivo&cat=undefined%2Cundefined

A Love Story - Christopher Moore (complete)
  Urban Fantasy/Comedy. One day you wake up as a vampire. Shenanigans ensue. Like most other Christopher Moore works this series is just plain silly, but it's fun light reading.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/christopher-moore-audiobook-collection-christopher-moore-2/

Demon Accords - John Conroe (ongoing)
  Urban Fantasy. This series has a little bit of everything. Lots of action. The series hits a lull at book 14 in my opinion, hopefully things pick up again. 3 stars. Demons, Vampires, Shapeshifters, Magic, Fae, Elementals, Aliens, Exorcism
https://audiobookbay.lu/?s=john+conroe&cat=undefined%2Cundefined

The Kurtherian Gambit - Michael Anderle (ongoing?)
  Science Fiction. This series is on my to-read list but when you add in the associated series it's dozens of books. It's also available in Graphic Audio.
https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/michael-anderle-collection-michael-anderle/

The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher (ongoing)
  Urban Fantasy. This series is also on my to-read list, but I don't want to pick up anymore ongoing series. The MC is a wizard P.I. This one isn't the best fit for your request but maybe.

One more:
Fevre Dream - George R.R. Martin
He wrote this in the 80s, before GoT.
About a non-magical vampire, on a Mississippi River steamboat in 1857.

Some old torrents with this, give them a try:

Brian Lumley books are very good. Try the Necroscope series.

I've heard that Empire of the Vampire is good. Watched a few booktubers talk about this one. Looks like we have a torrent here too!

Empire of the Vampire is on my to-read list but with so many ongoing series I've taken to only picking up completed series. I'm up to 41 ongoing series some haven't released a new book in more than 2 years.
