“Kindred” (post 1) by Octavia E. Butler: Novel begins like trip to “The Twilight Zone”

Dana, a black woman, disappears, for what seems like hours or days to her, but more briefly to her husband, who says:

“Do you honestly believe you traveled back over a century in time and crossed three thousand miles of space to see your dead ancestors…[in] the ante bellum South?” (1, p. 46-47).

Comment: Since Octavia E. Butler was a prize-winning science fiction writer (2), she could have written for “The Twilight Zone” (3).
