  65. Camp Damascus was originally nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Best Young Adult novel. However, it is "an adult novel in a young adult novel's clothing" according to Tingle. The Horror Writers Association subsequently recategorized it to the Best Novel category, and You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron was included as a new finalist in the Best Young Adult novel category instead.
