This thesis tries to understand the mindsets and behaviors of vampires in Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire (1976) as those of the post-tourist by comparing the vampires with Charles Baudelaire’s flâneur. Both Rice's vampires and Baudelaire's flâneurs are ambiguous figures but full of vivid meanings, and there are many similar characteristics between them. My argument is that both Rice’s vampire and Baudelairian flâneurs bear the characteristics of post-tourists, and their post-tourist gaze sheds light on the marginalized areas in the modern urban society. By analyzing these similar traits and the reasons shaping vampires and flâneurs to become post-tourists, this thesis redefines the meanings of post-tourist and aims to help bring some new discussions to the researches of vampire literature, postmodern tourism, and socio-cultural studies.
