Almost certainly not the same person as Earl Monroe Pierce (note the spelling, b. 1910-06-07, d. 1982-03-14), who was tentatively proposed as a candidate by Terence E. Hanley in May 2017. The "Weird Tales" Peirce was younger and an acquaintance of Robert Bloch's, who mentioned him in the memoirs "Once Around the Bloch" as well as in this 1979 interview with Graeme Flanagan.
