I can think of several vampire books that are not sappy romances off the top of my head:
Fevre Dream by George R R Martin - vampires on riverboats in the 19th century deep south. A great adventure story with political undertones.
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson - a sci-fi vampire classic from the '50s. Actually a very good book that deserves it's reputation (ignore the various movie adaptations!)
Fledgling by Octavia Butler - an unusual tale about an amnesiac little girl, who's also... well you know what. Deals with issues of race and racism. Sex scenes may be disturbing to some.
There must be others, surely?
