Are Readers Growing Tired of New Urban Fantasy?

Rowling class of best-sellerdom, and that vampires and wizards seemed to be overdone. I suggested to her that the Young Adult market seems to be where the money is, and judging by recent trends, maybe she should try a series about angsty teenage zombies. She was not enthused.

Has anyone done anything with intelligent zombies that only eat brains of livestock?
Snowleopard:
Not that I've heard of.
Though I understand that there's now a book and/or movie with a zombie as a romantic lead.
Urghhh - "I love you - let me eat your brains!!" ?????????

In the Xanth fantasy series by Piers Anthony, there is at least one zombie love story. In Xanth, when a zombie falls in love, it becomes more and more lifelike, until it practically regenerates, as I remember it.

The rom-zom-com is at least as old as Shaun of the Dead, no ?
I can't wait for zombies to stop being trendy, they really have no appeal to me.
