Unusual villians short story collection book

[calzephyr]

This sounds like an awesome book. I was able to discover that the title is most likely Alternate Outlaws edited by Mike Resnick.

I did NOT buy the book when I saw it, and now I'm kicking myself for not having noted down the title of the book, and the editor. It was an anthology of short stories, where the authors had been prompted to take someone and turn that individual into a villain. It was possibly from the 90s.

There was Sherlock Holmes as a vampire (he still loved his Watson and would never hurt Watson, even though Watson was afraid of him.)

And there was Helen Keller as a safecracker.

That's all I remember. Here's hoping it sounds familiar to someone.
