No offense, but I think this is a bad question. The best stories are the ones people don't know they want to read.
No one told Mary Shelly, "You know, what I'd really like to read is a story about a re-animated corpse that hunts down its creator."
No one told Vladimir Nabokov, "I've always wanted to read a story about a child molestor."
If you only want to write a novel that will sell, then pack your brain into storage and write romance novels. If you want to write something that is actually good, then you can't just follow people's expectations. You have to make them follow you, rather than the other way around.
Good luck.

I read to escape. I want to go to a strange new world, or live someones life vicariously through a fiction story. And whether it's a romance, a western, a sci-fi, etc, I always want them to live happily ever after.
Unless there's a sequel coming. Then they can have a not so happy ending.
As long as the sequel has a happy ending.

I like human interest stories like biographies about people who have really excelled in life. I also like reading about bizarre true things that happen to people. Maybe you could interview some people and ask them to tell about some strange event in their life?

I enjoy reading murder mysteries and crime fiction. Anything that has a faced paced plot with many twists. Like what James Patterson writes

I like to read about people who go through a lot and come home to find out that their original troubles were so small compared to what happened to them. i.e. "Freak the Mighty"
