I am reading one right now that I think a lot of you would like.

The Passage by Justin Cronin.

"The Passage begins in the near future and details an apocalyptic and, later, post-apocalyptic world that is overrun by vampire-like beings who are infected by a highly contagious virus. What begins as a project to develop a new immunity-boosting drug based on a virus carried by an unnamed species of bat in South America eventually becomes the virus that transforms the world. The novel begins in 2014 and spans more than ninety years, as colonies of humans attempt to live in a world filled with superhuman creatures who are continually on the hunt for fresh blood."

It has a very SHTF and survival theme to it.  I will say this is not a vampire book although that is what the "bad guys" most closely resemble.

Its book one in a three part series.  I personally prefer to read books that go beyond just one.  Its too hard to tell a really epic story in just one, in my opinion.
