Looking for books focused on or from the perspective of vampires which treat vampires frankly, irreverently, or as a known quantity. Preferably not where this is because vampires control the world, but could be enjoyable if the story's whole point/end condition isn't "all vampires need to die". Other non-human creatures are welcome, as are queer perspectives, and romance so long as plot is still substantive.
I've enjoyed Fred the Vampire Accountant and What We Do in the Shadows, but have struggled to find books which do not lean into this narrative of romanticized mystery. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
