Ever since she was 19 years old, author Angela Mason has been fascinated by the 1925 Tri-State Tornado.

"When I was a teenager, my grandpa was talking to me one day about this big storm," Mason said. "He proceeded to tell me about this giant tornado that I had never heard of."

Mason visited the Herrin Library Friday to talk about her book, "Death Rides The Sky" and tell stories about her experience writing the book.
