I'm not sure whom you think is stalking whom, in Twilight. (lol)
Now, as a rabid, frothing, crazed, unrepentant bookworm, I recommend the following:
Lighter fare:
P.N. Elrod (pretty much everything she's written). - vamps as good guys.
Tanya Huff - Blood books. vamps and other critters. Superb characterization. Was made into a short-lived television series called "Blood Ties", which fell short of its potential due to televisionizing and removal of a key character. Still notable for having the least whiny vamp main character on TV.
Charlaine Harris - Southern Vampire Mysteries. This is the series True Blood is based on. One of the best adaptations of book to tv I have ever seen. The books are great and will make you giggle--but yes, this is how books SHOULD be made into TV.
Jim Butcher - Dresden Series. wizards, vamps, werewolves, and other various critters. Made into a short-lived tv series whose writers should have been pounded into a pulp for taking what could have been the next 'Buffy' and turning it into formulaic garbage. And I will never forgive them for what they did to Bob.
Carrie Vaughn - Kitty Norville series. - werewolves.
Weightier tomes:
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro - Saint Germain series - vamps.
C.S. Friedman - When True Night Falls (trilogy) - sorta vamps. Science fiction. The best anti-hero ever penned.
