You don't have to add the "gay", there is not and there cannot be any vampire literature that isn't extremely gay.
Counter point: Blade
(Though it is debatable if he counts as literature)
Oh yeah there's nothing homoerotic about Blade
Wym Blade makes boys gay, that counts as gay literature
He cameoed on WWDITS, so he easily fits under the gay umbrella.
Early 2000s vampire stuff was not gay. Somehow, the gayness as taken over.
Not a bad thing, just interesting.
Twilight changed it. Vampires used to be ruthless killers. They turned them emo.
Anne Rice did it waaaaay before Twilight was the wet dream in the author's head. Even Dracula had crazy bitches in it. Sexual taboos are more freely explored in fiction, and the supernatural turns fiction up to 11.
The Lost Boys. I rest my case.
I'm pretty sure if I was a dude I would still think vampire Kiefer Sutherland was extremely fuckable, regardless of general gender preferences. That sexy evil laugh.. gives me chills just thinking about it.
He was a very unique and cool looking young man. When he got older and started doing 24 I couldn't believe that all the attitude, and all the coolness factor was gone.
But to your point, when straight dudes think another dude is cool, or handsome, they don't want to bone them. They want to be like them, or befriend them, or sometimes fight them. We don't always make sense.
But on the other hand $20 is $20...
Most who get an Anime aren't gay. "Call of the night" i think? for example, is not gay.
