Publisher's summary
Con el peculiar estilo que lo caracteriza, el humor corrosivo del que ha hecho su sello personal, y ensayando nuevos registros, Carlos Velázquez engendra su cuarto libro de relatos. Una mirada despiadada que se ve enriquecida por la madurez narrativa, producto de las más retorcidas obsesiones. Barbie Moreno es una chica del clima que "Se había prometido a sí misma que jamás volvería a bailar en un chiquichor a cuarenta grados afuera de un depósito de cerveza para una bola de macuarros". Tras ser removida de su cargo, emprenderá una pesquisa para desenmascarar al zar de los deportes en Multimiedos, Gómez Yonque, cuyo oscuro clan trafica con un material clandestino transportado en hieleras de unicel.
Los afanes de la Barbie nos transportan -al igual que el resto de los relatos de este volumen- a una espiral de acontecimientos que reflejan el abismo que se erige de manera insalvable entre la realidad y el anhelo. La desesperación, ese alimento del despecho, es uno de los hilos conductores de La efeba salvaje. En los seis relatos que conforman el audiolibro la traición se revela como uno de los males que rigen nuestro tiempo. Un hombre adicto a la cocaína y las apuestas encuentra consuelo en una heredera rubia y decadente; Stormtrooper, mote con el que Carmela ha bautizado a su primer hijo varón, se transforma en la versión encarnizada de las peores pesadillas de Rober; Alberto ha atraído al núcleo de su vida a una sombra de tres metros que se le aparece por las noches ante la mirada desesperada de su prometida Aída; el gordo Tony (mejor conocido como Porcel) encuentra en la desventura amorosa el único antídoto efectivo contra el galopante conteo de sus triglicéridos; para sacar de la depresión que le ha ocasionado a su hija, Ed recurre a los oscuros ardides del indio Mr. Mojo Risin, resucitador de caballos.
La efeba salvaje apuntala la trayectoria de Carlos Velázquez como uno de los prosistas más agudos, talentosos y originales de la actualidad. El ritmo y el lenguaje de sus relatos han logrado en corto tiempo la difícil tarea de labrar una voz que sólo puede referenciarse por sí misma.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Meet Jessica Jones: retired superhero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices. But something about Amber Randall’s story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.
