16. Cell by Stephen King

On the first of October around 3pm est, a "pulse" is sent through cell networks turning anyone who was on the phone at the time into a mindless killer. The "phone-crazies" start running around killing anyone that crosses their path. Clayton Riddell, an artist from Maine, is in Boston at the time of the pulse. Clayton meets Tom McCourt and Alice Maxwell, and the trio escape to Malden as Boston burns to the ground. The people who were affected by the pulse are out during the day, and sleep together at night. Clayton and others find out quickly that the "phone people" are all connected to each other telepathically. The "phone people" at night seem to be rebooting (they sleep in crowds where multiple stereos are set up playing music), and as the days progress they are able to telepathically communicate and are no longer killing.
Clayton and his friends desperately try to make it out of the city and into Maine, meeting new people and destroying as many phone people as possible.
15. Under the Dome by Stephen King
The town of Chester's Mill, Maine is suddenly cut off from the outside world when an invisible barrier comes down, trapping everyone inside. Many injuries and fatalities occur during the first day (plane crash, multiple car crashes, Duke's pacemaker explodes). Jim Rennie, the town's second selectman(who already has a significant influence over the town), uses the barrier as a way to rise to power and rule over the town. Rennie expands the police force by employing his son(who suffers from excruciating migraines from an undiscovered brain tumor) and his reckless friends. Life under the dome changes significantly in just a few days.
While the government is unsuccessful in trying to break through the dome (using cruise missiles and deadly chemicals), Jim Rennie is manipulating the town in believing that he is doing everything that he can for the town, when he's actually running the largest drug lab on the east coast. A few individuals who cross his path throughout are framed, blackmailed, and even murdered. Dale Barbara, Julia Shumway, and a few others try to find a way to stop Rennie (who is enjoying his power and influence under the dome) and find out what or who is keeping them trapped.
