"The Neon Bible" is thought to be his first novel, written when he was 16.

"The Neon Bible" has a 50,000-copy first printing, and world rights to the book have already surpassed $175,000.

Whatever the critical judgment about "The Neon Bible," its author continues to fascinate.

But near the end of the story, when it takes a violent turn, "The Neon Bible" loses its balance.

Toole's only other novel, The Neon Bible, was published in 1989.

Three years later "Neon Bible" is even more confident but considerably bleaker.

When the time came to record "Neon Bible," the new material tested the band's endurance and ingenuity.

It is the third single released from the band's second full-length album, Neon Bible.

"Neon Bible" was the first song on the album to have a music video.

Neon Bible was released in three versions.
