I think Anne Rice is your best bet though, considering that she covers vampires plus other gothic topics.
GL!!

I also know of another, "The Vampyre" by John Polidorim, which is considered a classic of vampire fiction, and "Varney the Vampire" (don;t laugh, it's real) by James Rymer, but I'm afraid I can do no more than inform you of their existence, I haven't read either yet.
And for the more general Gothic, doubtless you'll learn soon enough that the first was Horace Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto." "Vathek" is also supposed to be very dark and classic. But if you're at the master's level, I'm afraid you'll probably know a lot more than me about Gothic fiction by now.

I can't say anything about Anne Rice. I've never read her.

I personally did not enjoy the Twilight series but then again if you are writing for your Masters then perhaps they are worth reading to discover why they are such a phenomena.
Good Luck with your piece!
