I like modern fantasy/horror. I've only ever heard of Patricia Briggs an dJim Butcher from your list though. I didn't really like Jim Butcher...I just thought the language was very...I dunno...it seemed like a Teenage book rather than an adult book. They made a TV series out of his books though, dunno if you have seen it.
You should try the Nightside series by Simon R Green and the Felix Castor novels by Mike Carey. I think they are very similar to Jim Butcher's novels.

I agree that his writing is very... concise, but I rather like it. It just means I can read his books faster.

Thanks, I'll check those out. And you should read Anne Bishops Black Jewels books. They're fantastic, and very... adult.

For something a bit lighter I just finished reading Marley and Me, the (real) story of a young couple that buy a young puppy who turns out to be rather..uh, less well behaved than they exoected. Very sweet and sad in places, especially the inevitable ending cry

I really liked Anne Rice's books.
L.J. Smith wrote some really good books, The Night World serise were great and The Vampire Diaries were really good.
On a Non-fiction note I'm reading Goth Craft by Raven Digites and I'm really enjoying it.

@redtears: Goth Craft is a fabulous book and Raven Digitalis is one of the sweetest people in the world. Add him on facebook!

My favorite dark fiction is by Clive Barker, and H.P Lovecraft. Clive Barker's seductive sense of the macabre is a chilling favorite. I'm in love with the Books of Blood and I read them constantly. H.P Lovecraft's stories never cease to fill me with chills. Highly recommended reading.

I personally like the Demonata series by Darren Shan. They're more of a teen book though, so you may not be interested.
