"On allait là, chaque soir, vers onze heures, comme au café, simplement. Ils s'y retrouvaient à six ou huit, toujours les mêmes, non pas des noceurs, mais des hommes honorables, des commerçants, des jeunes gens de la ville ; et l'on prenait sa chartreuse en lutinant quelque peu les filles, ou bien on causait sérieusement avec Madame, que tout le monde respectait.

"Les Diaboliques" regroupent six nouvelles de Barbey d'Aurevilly parues en 1874. Ces courts textes ont pour traits communs de soulever une part de mystère dans des situations ordinaires, où la banalité d'une époque rencontre le crime, la passion, et les plus sombres desseins. Les femmes représentent une idée de la beauté fière et scandaleuse, elles laissent derrière elles des regrets et une incompréhension troublante. L'auteur se plaît à imbriquer les différents narrateurs de ces récits pour créer la légende racontée par plusieurs bouches, sous le sceau du secret, comme les histoires les plus terrifiantes qu'on se murmure sans savoir qui, le premier, les a vécues.

Le roman se passe à Belleville, vingtième arrondissement de Paris, sixième étage sans ascenseur. Momo a dix ans, peut-être quatorze en réalité. Cela fait beaucoup de chiffres pour un môme qui réinvente le dictionnaire et a le sens de la maxime : Je pense que pour vivre, il faut s'y prendre très jeune, parce qu'après on perd toute sa valeur et personne ne vous fera de cadeaux.
