En las novelas y en los cuentos dedicados al hampa mexicana, Homero Aridjis hace frecuente alusión a cultos esotéricos que se practican ampliamente en ciertas franjas sociales y que se han ido afirmando en los últimos años. Junto a estas prácticas inquietantes, el autor denuncia las plagas de la corrupción moral, del envilecimiento y del delito impune. Sobre todo en el cuento "La Santa Muerte", se orienta a la idea del festejo en el ámbito del narcotráfico, cuyo eje parece ser la adoración de la muerte.
In novels and stories dedicated to the Mexican underworld, Homero Aridjis makes frequent reference to esoteric cults that are widely practiced in certain social fringes and have been saying in recent years. Alongside these disturbing practices, the author claims pests of moral corruption, degradation and crime unpunished. Especially in "La Santa Muerte" the idea of the festival is declined in the field of drug trafficking, the axis seems to be the worship of death.
