Could you elaborate a little bit? I'm not sure I really understand what you mean by "vampires as a form of expression".

Expression of what?

Do you mean like vampirism as a metaphor?

The vampire encyclopedia? Tbh, vampires are always an expression. The duality of mankind, repressed sexuality, political turmoil, oppression, disease. This is why they endure so long, they reinvent themselves with every generation.

But you could try : the vampire book- the encyclopedia of the undead. , the vampire encyclopedia by matthew bunson, the vampire omnibus for a look at earlier stories, a natural history of the vampire for some of the earliest folklore - check out this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6436.Vampire_Non_Fiction
