Are there books out there that share the aesthetic of VtMB? Closest I can get is the cyberpunk genre, with Altered Carbon describing that gritty world.
I want more of the crime/horror/sexual elements from VtMB though.

>Meltdown has a place for you as a schizophrenic HIV+ transsexual chinese-latino stim-addicted LA hooker with implanted mirrorshades and a bad attitude. Blitzed on a polydrug mix of K-nova, synthetic serotonin, and female orgasm analogs, you have just iced three Turing cops with a highly cinematic 9mm automatic. The residue of animal twang in your nerves transmits imminent quake catastrophe. Zero is coming in, and you're on the run.

Really atmospheric game set in the OWoD ("Old" World of Darkness, to differentiate it from its recent retooling) tabletop role-playing setting.
Generally considered one of the best CRPGs out there. Good writing, good atmosphere. You explore an underground vampire society that has a political struggle between a self-appointed vampire government (to make sure the society stays underground and secret) and an "anarch" faction that thinks the community is capable of self-policing and the vampire government is just a tool for powerful vampires to dick around the ones who want to be left alone.
Very lovingly made by Troika games, who were forced to release it too early by a shitty publisher, then dissolved due to the resulting financial troubles, and all the grunts lost their jobs but kept working on patching the game to get it up to par. Has a major Unofficial Patch by the community that restores a lot of content and polishes it to be more of a finished game.

It's an RPG about a secret global cabal of vampires - I think it's set in LA.
It's a cult classic but I've never played it so I'm not sure why.

The lore books of White Wolf are pretty good, but you probably already looked into them.
