I used to piss off my old college room mate when I would suggest that all of the Anne Rice vampire books were just thinly veiled homoerotic porn books.
Well, you weren't wrong I don't think. Rice was pretty obsessed with porn literature. I'm pretty sure she wrote some actual porn type stuff under a different pen-name (and based them off of fairy tale characters at that)
I've always thought that Rice's best writing were the parts of her books when the characters were human - before turning into vampires or being revealed as witches, etc. I think she had the talent to make it as a mainstream author. But can't really fault her for making the big $$.
On Zombies, I'd bet it appeals to some part of our subconscious fear of nature from way back - maybe when we weren't the only "human" species or something like that. Kind of like all the dragon stuff must reflect some subconscious fear out of the past.

For a lot of people it's the fantasy of being able to go around killing people any way possible without the guilt of killing another human. Yeah it would be scary, but of the situation was controlled (have a nice set up without hoards coming at a time) it would be cool.
