I'm not qualified to decide what is real science fiction, I usually prefer hard science fiction but my first recommendation would probably not be called hard science fiction nor my next choice:

Justin Cronin's The Passage published in 2010
An epic post-apocalyptic vampire trilogy
From: couriermail.com.au
‘Justin Cronin's blockbuster novel The Passage has been hailed by literary greats’

“Read this book and the ordinary world disappears.”
—Stephen King

“A wild, headlong, sweeping extravaganza of a novel….A bona fide thriller that is sharply written, deeply humane, ablaze with big ideas, and absolutely impossible to put down.”
—Jennifer Egan, winner of the Pulitzer Prize

“Magnificently unnerving . . . A The Stand-meets-The Road journey.”
—Entertainment Weekly

“Great entertainment . . . [a] big, engrossing read.”
—The Dallas Morning News

“Mythic storytelling.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
