Graveyards of the Banks - I did it for the money

GRAVEYARDS OF THE BANKS By Nyla Nox Volume 1- I did it for the Money Seven desperate recruits enter the dark Building Without a Name through the hidden door leading from an ancient graveyard into the gothic halls of the Most Successful Bank in the Universe (not its real name...). There they will serve the hundreds of bankers who roam the notorious Seventh Floor of the Bank with its filthy kitchen and flea infested carpets, forced to fight each other for survival. Their shouting resembles constant gunfire. The Bank's masters are fervent believers in the Elimination of the Unfit. Predators to a man! Nyla is their prey. Nyla works the graveyard shift from midnight to morning, trapped in an iron chair with no toilet breaks, high above the City of London. After a life time frittered away in the unprofitable humanities, Nyla needs the money. And as hope and dignity are stripped away, night after grueling night in the haunted halls of incredible profit, she wonders if there is even a world left outside the Most Successful Bank in the Universe. You have no idea how bad it can get... "A modern-day Boschesque purgatory. It's the death of a thousand cuts: a steady, minute chipping away of sensitivities, of sensibilities, of defences, of any sense of normality, that make the story get slowly but inexorably under your skin. It's rampant capitalism's ugly underbelly, a hugely apt and relevant tale for us right now." Noel Maurice, indielit "Financial fiction meets Dante's Inferno meets The Office. Wow. This was an amazing, moving book. The main character was me; I haven't connected with a book like this in a long, long time." Aaron Hoos, Financial Fiction "If you want to know more about investment banking from a totally unique perspective, and you dare, go for it. A fascinating book." Olga Miret, Lit World Review "Are top investment banks 'deliberate social Darwinist systems'? At the time this struck me as perhaps extreme, but reading Nyla's experiences perhaps she did see the beast in the eye." Joris Luyendijk, The Guardian
About the Author: Nyla Nox lives an exciting double life. She has been writing articles on the (in)-human side of banking for many years, particularly about the lives of jobless humanities graduates who are forced to serve the richest bankers in the world. Her unique knowledge of this extremely secretive world is the inspiration for the 'Graveyards of the Banks trilogy' or the 'The War and Peace of Investment Banking' as Nyla likes to call it. 'Graveyards of the Banks' is based on Nyla's real life experience at the Most Successful Bank in the Universe (not its real name), where very few outsiders have ever set foot. Nyla also writes stories about fantastical creatures and imaginary futures. Her work has been included in numerous collections. Her articles appear in Business Insider, Open Democracy, mergers&inquisitions and efinancialcareers where they were translated into German, French and Mandarin.
