I confess I've loved vampires since I first read Dracula, and I think some of the appeal for me is because they're immortal man-shaped people-eating lions (hee) - and it's the same explanation for the popularity of Alpha heroes in romance: if you can tame this guy, you're one hell of a woman.
That said, the one really and truly different vampire I've come across in the last few years is Constantine in Patricia McKinley's Sunshine. He's really gross in so many ways, but he's also (imo) incredibly compelling and even sexy.
