Read "RailSea" by China Mieville.
Basically post apocalyptic/steampunk world that is a "rail sea." That is, everyone voyages on trains and is afraid to put their feet on the ground because... all sorts of vermin are now mutatedly huge and carnivorous.
The action is centered on a "moling" train that goes out and hunts giant moles with harpoons. This particular one's captain is in search of a great white mole... sounding familiar yet? Anyway, it's typical crazy Mieville writing that's at times hard to follow and decipher. Very fun book, though.
