N2  - This paper deals with the interpretation of three novels, Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, Dracula by Bram Stoker, and Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice from the perspective of the Queer theory. The first part focuses on the theory of transgressive sexuality of vampires and its significance in Gothic fiction. Then the novella Carmilla is introduced as an example of lesbian vampire fiction, and presents the way compulsory heterosexuality is imposed on women. Further, two novels representing homoerotic vampire fiction, Dracula and Interview with the Vampire, are analyzed. Dracula is presented as a therapeutic means for Stoker, who is considered a closeted homosexual by modern critics. Interview with the Vampire demonstrates Rice´s skill to balance between homosocial and homosexual features.
