The entry used to have the subtitle "An Atomic Fantasy" with "title verified from Tuck"; however primary sources (photos and scans online) as well as reliable catalogs make it clear that no actual edition included it. The occasional occurence (like in 1948's The Bookseller or The Publishers' Circular and Booksellers' Record) clearly came up from confusion with Allen & Unwin's "Atomic Phantasy: Krakatit" and tendency to normalise both spelling and ordering.
