Atavist Inc. is a company launched in 2011, and is behind the Atavist multimedia publishing platform and The Atavist Magazine. The company is now owned by Automattic. The California Sunday Magazine, Mental Floss, The Daily Dot, The Christian Science Monitor and Esquire, among other magazines, used the Atavist platform to publish feature stories on the web. Atavist Books, a multi-platform book publishing company, was launched in partnership with Barry Diller, Scott Rudin, and Frances Coady, in the spring of 2014, with Sleep Donation by Karen Russell as the venture's first novella. All titles were produced and distributed using the Atavist platform. In the following months after Atavist Books published its first title, five more e-titles were published. In October 2014, the initiative was shut down. A spokesperson of the company said, "We have identified that the market for highly innovative enhanced full-length literary eBooks still heavily relies on a print component and has yet to emerge."
