    Jamie, following her separation from Josh, has been living all alone in her house in Cheshire, Connecticut. She has been sleeping in the basement because of the constant sound of footsteps above… So begins this classic ghost story…a lonely woman all alone in a house inhabited by an evil spirit… Noises, unexplained presence, closing of doors, switching off of lights, noises… And what about the flies infesting the house..? She calls in the local pastor. Suffice to say this is a taut, tightly-controlled story that will keep you on the edge of your seat… Be prepared for a host of scares and surprises. Great yarn.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Can you imagine being possessed by a spirit?
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2016

    The Flies by Ju Ephraime is a tale of a frightening nature. Flies are annoying little bugs at the best of times. Not to mention that disgusting thing that they do with their food. But, can you imagine being possessed by one?

    Jamie Bradshaw hears footsteps and banging from things that she cannot see. It has become so bad that she has resorted to living in the basement where the spirits don't visit. They're behaving themselves, to a degree, at the moment; so, are they really there or are they just in her imagination? No one else seems to see them.

    So, it's now that the flies make their entrance. Up until that point, the rest of the scene is set; a lone, disabled woman whose fears are magnified each day that she lives as a recluse in her basement. The appearance of these infuriating insects are the beginning of the end for Ms Bradshaw; this is the point where I feel the story starts to become much stronger.

    However, could the reader have been left to discover what the intention (possession: as told in the introduction) of the flies were? I think it would have made this story that much more chilling to read. Maybe less telling and more showing would have increased the chill factor, too. Saying that, overall, I quite liked Flies. The storyline is definitely more interesting than some of the usual horror that I have read. Also a majority of the story can be read, say, over a lunch break, leaving the conclusion left to be read at a later time. That is, if you can't wait that long!

    This was another unusual entry by Ju Ephraime.

    I've already read a couple of her other books and she is shockingly eclectic. This didn't feel like any of the other books I had read. There was something sinister about the tale of a lonely woman who is haunted in her own home.

    Creepy and mesmerizing, not one to be missed.

    A fabulous thriller. I read The Flies by Ju Ephraime, from beginning to end without taking a break. Jamie Bradshaw is in quite a predicament, alone in a house that appears to be haunted, or is she losing her mind? You won't want to put the story down until you discover the unexpected outcome.

    Loved it!! Being a fan of author Ju Ephraime, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. The Flies is an incredible, frightening read…I'll never look at an insect the same way anymore. Not one to give spoilers, as others have fleshed it out pretty well. This is quite a haunting page-turner, a fairly short read, full of twists and turns. And I highly recommend!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Flying Good Time!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2015
    In this short but satisfying ghost story, a woman trapped by circumstances in a house that would rival the hotel in The Shining fights off spirits with less than good intentions at heart.

    The main character’s back story adds to the reader’s empathy of her plight, and makes her battle much more difficult and believable. And the out-of-the-blue plot twist either leads to dismay or joy – depending solely on the reader’s imagination.

    The Flies is a quick, scary read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed the suspenseful atmosphere and how it was slowly growing ...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2016
    “The Flies” was a suspenseful, shiver-sending read in the traditions of classic thrillers. Here you have it all: the haunted house, the lonely owner, who doesn’t know if she’s being paranoid or if the house indeed has its own dark secrets, the invited priest, and all those things that will make you turn pages faster.
    I really enjoyed the suspenseful atmosphere and how it was slowly growing to become something bigger, something more sinister, until it reached its climax. I also couldn’t help but sympathize with the protagonist, Jamie, who had no other choice but to deal alone with her “nightmares,” after her husband had left her. As it turned out, the mysterious house had something to do with it too…
    If you love thriller and classic ghost stories, this book is definitely for you. Very enjoyable.

    The Flies by Ju Ephraime starts off with the thirty-five year old protagonist Jamie Bradshaw, living alone for the last for years in a creepy house that appears to be haunted. This face-paced enjoyable read has Jamie living in the basement of her two story house not just because it’s cooler in summer and warmer in winter but it keeps her feeling safe away from the strange happenings on the upper floor: footsteps, doors opening and closing, two stereos that shuts off, etc. Why doesn’t she get out or move? She’s handicapped with health issues involving a heart valve replacement and complications of pulmonary clots, which cause dizziness and make it hard for her to drive. Sleepless and exhausted from the spooky nighttime interruptions the story continues involving a visit from the police, another from a priest and his assistant, prayer and sacred water ceremonies, and a man named Thomas all moving the plot along to a mysterious buzzing sound. It’s here I’m reminded of the movie, The Fly. Without retelling and spoiling the rest of the storyline suffice it to say this was an easy, fast read that I enjoyed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A haunted house
    Reviewed in the United States on 5 April 2016

    This is certainly a departure from my usual read. A spirit inhabits Jamie Bradshaw’s house and is destroying her life. Her marriage fails, she’s beset with unexplainable illnesses, a pastor is called to exorcise the ghosts.
    The tension rises as Jamie battles her demons terminating with an unexpected twist coming at the end. I found it an interesting story, the concept of a haunted house is the recipe for a chilling story. I enjoyed ‘The Flies’ but it did not completely captivate me. I felt the writing could have been tightened a little, a few typos etc.
    I’m sure lovers of the paranormal would enjoy ‘The Flies.’

    Strange things happen in Jamie Bradshaw’s house. After her failing health drives her husband away, Jamie drifts through life in solitary fashion. Her house is filled with sounds, the master bedroom is freezing cold and she lives in the basement. When she decides she needs help she calls in a priest. Then the buzzing of a million flies begins.

    Ju Ephraime knows how to write suspense, creepy suspense. Her stories always keep me turning the pages in eerie trepidation and I am never disappointed. "Flies" delivers. The ending honestly blew my braincells.

    Author Ju Ephraime never fails in captivating an audience, and this brief but terrifying little book certainly is no exception. In this one, abandoned wife Jamie Bradshaw finds herself alone in a house that seems increasingly more alive...The creaks, doors opening and shutting, disembodied voices, and the constant sound of footsteps drives Jamie to involve the local priest. But the haunting doesn't stop there. Fans of mystery and thrilling stories with lots of creepy dark twists and turns will devour this little book in an evening. Ephraime's The Flies follows in a long tradition of unsettling stories; in Edgar Allan Poe fashion, her story will haunt long after the final page.
