Barry Pain (1864–1928) was an English writer, primarily known for humorous works. He did, however, write a number of horror & dark fantasy stories.

This collection was published in 1901 and contains:

• This Is All
• The Moon-Slave
• The Green Light
• The Magnet
• The Case of Vincent Pyrwhit
• The Bottom of the Gulf
• The End of a Show
• The Undying Thing
• The Grey Cat

Of particular note is "The Undying Thing" which was included in John Pelan's anthology, The Century's Best Horror Fiction.

v1. 4 Feb 2014
I found a pdf online (etext by horrormasters.com) which I converted via Zamzar. I then compared the resulting epub with a scanned copy of the original book, contributed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to the Internet Archive.

Through this comparison, I was able to make hundreds of corrections -- from inserting the smallest missing comma to replacing entire sentences. But, in keeping with the period, I did not "update" any language or spelling. I also tried to replicate the original book's formatting and punctuation.
