chaptersfncychapsectioningspacingtable of contents

The below example shows the table large gap between the top of the table of contents its section heading.
How can this gap be reduced?

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[Bjornstrup]{fncychap}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents 
\chapter{This is an unnecessary huge gap!!?}
Here is some text in the section.
\end{document}

Best Answer

If the change in vertical spacing should affect only the title "Contents" and the first entry in the Table of Contents, an \addtocontents command should be enough:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[Bjornstrup]{fncychap}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\addtocontents{toc}{\vskip-40pt}
\chapter{Test chapter}
Here is some text in the section.

\end{document}
