"Iä Iä Cthulhu ftahgn!" -- The Shadow over Innsmouth
If you are looking for Lovecraftian-based monsters, magic items, spells, etc., I would be happy to help! I am assuming you are familiar with at least Lovecraft's most famous works (Call of Cthulhu; Herbert West: Reanimator; or the Shadow Over Innsmouth).
For monsters, almost any abberation will do. Chuuls are the first monster that comes to my mind when I think of Lovecraftian horror in D&D. They are aquatic, have tentacles, and are often found in ancient ruins. What's not to like (despite their low intelligence)? Mind flayers are almost perfect for a Lovecraftion monster. Then, there are, of course, the kuo toa. If you've read "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", these fishlike humanoids are perfect for replecating the deformed population of Innsmouth. The undead have been seen in various Lovecraft stories (my favorite is "Herbert West: Renimator"). I don't think I need to tell you what undead are perfect for similar undead. The kraken statistics work well for Cthulhu or a similar being.
I'm not sure what to do about your request for Lovecraftian races and classes since i'm not sure whether you want races and classes for a 1920s setting or a normal D&D setting with Lovecraftian elements.
The 1980's role-playing-game "Call of Cthulhu" may contain more things you are looking for. It apparently has more monsters and spells with a Lovecraftian flavor to them.

Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
You know Call of Cthulhu is still around, right? It's like you are saying "The 1970's role-playing game "Dungeons & Dragons"" while talking about 5th edition, since Call of Cthulhu's most recent edition was released just in October of 2015.
That aside, with more information as to what it is exactly that is being looked for, I may be of some assistance if I find the spare time because I've been planning on converting the mythos monster section of Call of Cthulhu 7th edition to D&D stats for my own use some time in the near future anyways.

[REDACTED] - Here is a link to a bunch of content from the Call of Cthulhu game. I haven't looked through any of it myself, but I'm sure you'll find some things that will create inspiration for what you're looking for.

From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
Basically. An elder god (insert name here) arrived from the stars. They twisted the local tribe of gnome or hafling into an evil monstrous race.
Motives and Goals - to serve the elder god (insert name here), serve other evil groups as messengers and assassins, and to bring the elder god to fully manifest into the world destroying "civilization".
Rumors / plot-Hooks.
The Tcho-Tcho raid nearby villages. There are rumors that they practice cannibalism of sentient races. The Tcho-Tcho raids the local wizard's tower for the library in order to bring their god into the world. Tcho-Tcho kidnap a cleric to stop a local plague among their people - the PC's must save the cleric, the cleric must save the Tcho-Tcho, and the PC's are in-between with their "evil" reputation.
Preferred alignment - Chaotic, Neutral, or Evil.
Preferred Classes
Barbarian (as their martial). Ranger (blow-gun) (as their secondary martial). Artificer (as their cleric class). warlock (great old one - as their sorcerer / wizard class)
-------------
Lovecraftian Ghouls.
Tabaxi or Satyr. Use Tcho-Tcho.

Thank you I've looked over the books and this ought to be rather useful
