Provenance

Where it came from

Oblivious Bookworm was released in 2024 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set Duskmourn: House of Horror. The set draws heavy inspiration from 1980s and 1990s horror aesthetics, centered around a sentient, shifting house filled with paranormal threats. This card serves as an uncommon creature, designed to mechanically represent the theme of discovery and graveyard interaction common to the set's graveyard-centric archetypes.

The artwork was created by illustrator Josh Newton, who captured the card's namesake in a state of perilous absorption. Newton's design emphasizes the irony of a character so engrossed in their reading that they remain entirely unaware of the looming, supernatural dread surrounding them. The piece aligns with the set's broader goal of blending classic tropes of horror cinema with high-fantasy gameplay.
