For over a decade the cult of La Santa Muerte has grown rapidly in Mexico and the United States. This book examines La Santa Muerte's role in people's daily lives and explores how popular religious practices of worship and devotion developed around a figure often associated with illicit activities.

Trade Review
This anthology is a welcome addition to what Wil Pansters demonstrates is a relatively new but rapidly expanding field of inquiry: the cult of La Santa Muerte. A comprehensive introduction is followed by timely, fascinating topical essays that shed light on the cult and related topics concerning the cultural role of death in twenty-first-century Mexico." - Martin Austin Nesvig, editor of Local Religion in Colonial Mexico
