* In ''VarneyTheVampire'' Clara Crompton predates even Carmilla as a female Vampire who prefers female victims
* Inverted in ''[[TheVampireChronicles Interview With The Vampire]]'', in which a man is seduced and transformed by a male vampire. Lestat claims that, before the twentieth century, he was exclusively attracted to men, since he didn't consider women to be very interesting. (Though he did seem fairly interested in [[IncestIsRelative his mother.]])

* Sara Waite from ''WebOriginal/WhateleyUniverse.'' She uses the GenreSavvy codename Carmilla. She has fangs, pale skin, and a nearly irresistible lust aura, but she's not technically a vampire. Her core paradigm may be what all vampires in history were based on, since she's actually one of the Great Old Ones: she's directly related to both Shub-Niggurath and Cthulhu. She's mostly lesbian, and has turned a couple straight women, along with picking up a couple superpowered lesbians and even two hermaphrodites. (She's flexible.)

The lesbian vampire is an [[OlderThanRadio old trope]], stretching back to the 19th century novella ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' by Sheridan Le Fanu, which heavily inspired Bram Stoker's rather more famous ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''. However, it didn't return into popular consciousness until the 1970s, when HammerHorror made numerous films in which voluptuous countesses nibbled nubile young women. Since then, the trope has pretty much become the default setting for most female vampires, adding an extra layer of titillation to an already heavily sexualised mythological creature.

This blatant sexualisation sometimes leads to a variation -- the Bisexual Vampire (often of the DepravedBisexual sort). In this case, the sexy vampire will happily take both men and women to bed, but her primary target for the duration of the story will usually be female.

A variation on the lesbian vampire, particularly in pornography and films aimed at the young male demographic, is the female victim who is seduced and converted by a male vampire and -- either during the process of her seduction or after being transformed -- begins to find women sexually attractive. This is sometimes explained as the vampire warping her mind so that she can become one of his harem, but usually, it is assumed that as soon as a woman joins the ranks of the undead, she immediately starts playing for both teams -- such is the power of this trope.

This can lead to some [[UnfortunateImplications controversial sexual politics]]; while the idea that lesbianism or bisexuality is the result of a corruptive and malign influence, representative of moral decay, was standard back in the olden days, today, it tends to be challenged. And if a female victim is transformed by a female vampire, it carries the implication that homosexuals are predatory and waiting to ensnare and 'convert' hapless heterosexuals.

On the other hand, this neatly provides a convenient fantasy outlet. If you're going to be seduced by sexy minions of the night, no one will blame you for ''enjoying'' it, right?

And, in yet another interpretation of modern media, lesbianism sometimes seems to come as part of [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]] for young women. After all, if you become a vampire, you're no longer bound to puritanical notions of sexuality that are often a part of human life. Why not reexamine your sexual identity if you have some long-buried tendencies waiting to burst out?

In the works of some authors, such as AnneRice, the GenderFlip version of this trope (i.e., male vampires attracted to other males) does exist; typically, they (like standard-issue female 'lesbian' vampires) are [[BiTheWay bisexual]] rather than exclusively same-sex attracted.

If one were to use FridgeLogic, vampires don't reproduce through sex ([[{{Dhampyr}} except for when they do]]), and most half-vampyrs are usually [[IHateYouVampireDad bad news for them.]] So gender preference is just cosmetic anyway.

Lesbian Vampire is a SubTrope of DiscountLesbians and often of DepravedHomosexual. See also HornyDevils and HemoErotic.

Discworld fics.

Added DiffLines:

* There is a whole cottage industry in the ''{{Discworld}}'' that ships Polly Perks with her fellow soldier, female-vampire-pretending-to-be-a-male Maledicta. A goodly proportion of Discworld fics on Fanfic.Net are about Polly and Maledicta getting it on.
** There is also at least one fic concerning Watch vampire Sally von Humpeding getting into a threesome with Captain Carrot - ''and'' his girlfriend Angua von Uberwald.

Added DiffLines:

** It is also hinted that Sally von Humpeding's cheerful promiscuity extends to both sexes: she is definitely interested in Carrot, and drops ambiguous hints during her naked mud-bath confrontation with Angua.

* PlayedForLaughs in the [[QueensBlade Spiral Chaos games]], especially in ''Queen's Gate Spiral Chaos'': We have Lamica, whose name is an anagram of ''Carmilla'', but, as far we know about her, she's straight, or at least celibate, but that doesn't stop Katja (from SeikonNoQwaser) from desiring her. Not only she hate her, but also she has to run ''for her own life'' when Katja wants her Soma, inverting this trope in an ironic way.
