I've only read a couple of the Sookie Stackhouse books. Might have to read more. I agree that the Anita Blake books are way too purple these days, having descened from decent books at the beginning of the series into boring plotless erotica for the last few, and I've pretty much given up on them, despite having once liked the series.
Speaking of modern books which include the supernatural and a lot of humor...
For anyone who hasn't yet found them, I *very* highly recommend the Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher. Harry Dresden is a wizard who practices out of an office in midtown Chicago; in fact he's the only wizard in the phone book. Harry is a great character with a fabulous sense of humor (tending toward the sarcastic). He also has a tendency to get into a great deal of trouble even when he knows better (especially when his sense of chivalry kicks in). If you prefer audiobooks you can even go to the author's website and get the first three books read by James Marsters.
