Within the genre of sapphic vampire fiction there is a long-standing and prominent trope of abusive desire in the sapphic relationships. Vampires within fiction have long been used as a medium through which queer identities can be explored and expressed; however, the violent nature of vampires, who need to harm others and steal their lifeblood to survive, often leads to an excess of desire which becomes abusive when left unchecked. This abusive desire is showcased in multiple different manners such as manipulation and lack of consent, under negotiated S&M dynamics, and imbalances in age and power. Dealing with two primary works—Carmilla (1872) by Sheridan Le Fanu and Education in Malice (2024) by S.T. Gibson—this paper seeks to discuss the trope of abusive desire within each of these pieces. By examining these works and performing a comparative analysis, this paper examines how the trope presents itself individually and in the sapphic vampire fiction genre as a whole.
