The Titan (collection)
The Titan is a collection of science fiction short stories by the American writer P. Schuyler Miller. It was first published by Fantasy Press in 1952 in an edition of 2,069 copies.

Miller recreated and revised the title piece (whose serialization was never finished) from an early longhand draft because the original manuscript had been lost.[1]
