This speculative fiction anthology was created during an intense, 24-hour period of writing and editing. A team of authors residing in Toronto were given the theme of "Colony", and a strict timeline to produce stories based on that theme. This is more than a collection of imaginative and entertaining stories—it is also a feat in creative writing. It embodies the efforts of authors writing and editing fervently under absurd time pressures. They set themselves a challenge and pushed themselves to the finish line. The Colony anthology is the result of their efforts.

Colony: A one-shot anthology of speculative fiction Reviews

Here's my problem with this. As a concept, it's really cool. The idea of writing an anthology in 24 hours is great. However, the few stories in here that were good were really bogged down by all the stories that weren't good. I wish the anthology had been more selective and turned it into a sort of content. Even in the author notes, they said that their stories weren't good. That's what really shocked me.
It's a fun book to own if you're a participant, but it doesn't really have much to offer beyond that.
