Deadline for Love and Other Stories is a collection of 12 short stories written by Singaporean writer Catherine Lim. The collection was first published in 1992 by Heinemann Asia press. The collection is Lim's sixth book of short stories.
Like its predecessor collections Deadline for Love explores themes of self-deception, ignorance and folly which lead to misery and tragedy. There is also a feminist streak in some of the stories which lead directly to the author's next book of short stories, The Woman's Book of Superlatives.

with poems that think they’re money.”
