GRAVEYARDS OF THE BANKS By Nyla Nox Volume 3 Slaughterhouse Morning On the night shift at the Most Successful Bank in the Universe, Nyla has survived where others failed. Will the Bagman, one of the Masters of that Universe, now take her with him to the Next Level? But then the world of the Banks, so solid and all powerful, is shattered by the ignominious collapse of one of its very own, the Bank were all the Fired People Go. And maybe the rest of the Banks, and all the rest of the world, will follow it into the abyss. Big events shake up the world of banking. Bubbles, wild rides, the crash, another crash, austerity... The kaleidoscope of chaos rattles out of control, with Nyla thrown around inside. As the Bagman flies all over the planet, trying to save the economy, Nyla is torn between holding on to her own small survival (and she does - time after time, timid Nyla is too tough to be fired) and trading her personal integrity for the protection of the Bagman. But isn't the Bagman one of the architects of Nyla's misery? How can she choose him when he helps to destroy the world? Big love, big money, big decisions. Ghosts from the past return. Will Nyla survive one last time, when her department is outsourced to a country half a planet away? Or will they all go down in a big flood of blood, in the Slaughterhouse Morning? 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
