Tal's hit you with League graphic novel (the film does NOT exist in my world), and others have already mentioned Gibson/Sterling. I was recently pointed toward George Mann, and I'll be picking up The Affinity Bridge soonish. Tim Powers' Anubis Gates is another commonly recommended steampunk novel, as is Kim Newman's Anno Dracula. (Thank you, years spent listening to recommendations made by other staff members of the F/SF bookshop.)
I loved Elizabeth Bear's New Amsterdam (a collection of steampunk novellas with a vampiric private detective!).
