I totally want more short stories. Especially if Hambly goes back and fills in some of the gaps between books. There's so much space there!
(Of course, if Ben, Hannibal, and Shaw were in town, there would have been a lot of angry people immediately rescuing Rose from jail, and she wouldn't have had time to solve the murder.)
Ha, Rose is always 28. Totally a vampire!
I love that exchange between them.
Bodies tend to decompose from the inside out, because skin is designed to be tough and protect you from bacteria/bugs/etc, whereas internal organs are soft and vulnerable. Also, there's a lot of bacteria already in the digestive system, and immediately after death they change from digesting food to eating their now immune-system-free surroundings. So as the body's insides turn to fluids, they leak out of the pre-existing holes in the skin, and end up on whatever cloth is underneath the genitals. They could also leak out of the mouth/nose/etc, but corpses are often positioned in such a way as to elevate the head, and of course liquids flow downwards. Sorry if that was gross!
