Graveyards of the Banks - Monsters Arising
GRAVEYARDS OF THE BANKS by Nyla Nox Volume 2 Monsters Arising Midnight in the City of London. The Masters of Finance rule the world. Small creatures run for cover. Nyla, a jobless humanities graduate with broken dreams is forced to work on the midnight shift in the graphics centre of the Most Successful Bank in the Universe in London. Night after miserable night, she hangs on for survival. And the Monsters are not sleeping. The Fittest to Rule fight their neverending war for supremacy in the Bank. They have absolute power over Nyla, including the most intimate bodily functions. And then Vera, slow and beautiful, arrives. The bullies decide to make her their ultimate target. But Nyla's love life is finally taking off. Lazy afternoons and kisses sweeten the relentless work routine. Why should she have to stand up for freedom and decency when everyone else is looking away? Vera and the bullies are locked into a relentless spiral of torment. And finally, dramatic events force Nyla to confront the monsters (inside and out) and make a very dangerous decision. Everything is on the line. Her job, her home, her education. Her relationship. Suddenly, a very different shape appears on the horizon that will shake up Nyla's world forever... A modern-day Boschesque purgatory. It's the death of a thousand cuts: a steady, minute chipping away of sensitivities, of sensibilities, 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 has grown into the 'Graveyards of the Banks trilogy' - '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 (not even photographs are allowed).
Nyla also writes stories about fantastical creatures and her work has been included in numerous collections. Her articles appear in Business Insider, mergersandinquisitions and efinancialcareers where they were translated into German, French and Mandarin.
